[smokedrunk]

[smokedrunk]

[stopmotionpro15]

wow, just wow.

[MrBr8y]

This is a 10-second video looped for 1:25.

[Sk8BoardTrucker]

do you have a longer version of the time lapse? not sure how long you recorded in that spot for but you quite possibly have one of the most awesome videos on you tube if you do...shitty thing going on in the background but it's still beautiful...Live about an hour south of flag...strange how things work..first the fire, now the floods because of the fire...CRAZY

[msamandasanchez]

This is a great video. I have lived in Flagstaff my whole life. This is my backyard. So sad.

[TrueMantika]

that is my home, I have been gone for 30 years due to life...this really hurts me, Flag is so wonderful....

[stalcut]

this is great

[MotionMemoriesMO]

Darn...I hate to see it. I left Flagstaff in 1992 after graduating from Coconino HS for the Navy and have only returned once, it is hard to believe all that forest is gone...the place I used to explore the most. Very sad.

[TheKingandTheMaiden]

Thank you for this outstanding imagery and music that capture an unyielding reality and our pained response of shock and grief...

Those who came of age in Flagstaff rely on her to tell us with one glance in her direction exactly where we are. We may leave and live elsewhere for years, but immediately upon our return she takes back us into her embrace. She is a gift, and indeed we have loved her as a friend.

[stevenash730]

i was evacuated...

it is still burning...

[azclkwrk]

I seen this on cnn. Very sad sight.

[ginajanell]

As an artist, and a resident of the north-east side with property adjacent the fire, I am at a loss for words. This video speaks to all of us who loved this side of the mountain. We are all grieving. Some of us, who have evacuated hesitate to return home, not in fear, but because we cannot bear to see this. This video and the music voices our sorrow. I look at the paintings I have of this mountain and cry. I have loved her as a friend.

[TrueMantika]

@ginajanell Ditto, I am so hurt....I grew up there 67-81 and road my horse all over that area

[andyrccar]

Although its a great scene , they really should put the fire out quick

[susiii2u]

@andyrccar Best reply ever - Thanks!

[SABBAN1]

Very moving and very sad to see such beauty destoryed by fire .xxxx

[OptimusPrime571]

so beautiful yet so sad.

[Whatever27213]

That is so beautiful, I love Flagstaff, shame to see it go up in smoke, waiting for a brush fire to happen in Buckeye

[ces63]

@IneedTodisco i guess it's a "here's the video if you were watching it at the world cup button". that noise is the "vuvuzellas" that everyone is using at the world cup. haha

[ces63]

this video is WAY better if you press that soccer ball on the bottom right.

[fireandcars]

That's so beautiful...

[fantasytoreality32]

I LOVE my Flagstaff, sorry someone put you on fire!!!!

[vebiltdervan]

Ramblingsuzy: fire is healthy for a healthy ponderosa forest, where the ponderosas are widely spaced & the fire can only burn the undergrowth, without crowning in the tree canopy. But the Schultz fire is NOT burning a healthy ponderosa, it's burning right through the overly dense canopy & killing all those ponderosas. It will take a human generation plus before that forest restores itself, & even then it will still not be healthy, because we killed off just about all the porcupines in the 1930s

[Ramblingsuzy]

Fire is good for the forest, we know that - so it is our loss we feel more than anything - but the idea of a community movement to help restore areas that have burned is a wonderful one. I know I would be out there with my shovel planting seedlings if it would help the next generation to see what we had before last Sunday.

[live4mtns]

I don’t know much about National Forests and community events but is there anything as a community that we can do in aftermath. Raise money to create a recreation park, plant trees, restore what has been lost in any sort of way. Can something positive, anything positive come from this disastrous tragedy? I am hoping that someone that knows more than I can lead a campaign that we can all contribute to. I don’t live in Flagstaff but spend enough time there that it feels like home.

[Ramblingsuzy]

This fire came within a mile of my home. We were not evacuated and had a front-row seat for this. I felt its heat and heard its roar. The song is not overly corny - trust me - it expresses what is in so many of our hearts. We watched our beautiful green mountain burn - the whole east side is gone. The collective mourning is staggering. Thank you for this film - although I cry everytime I watch it - it captures the horror of this, and reminds us all to be careful with our forests.

[guardiandragon67]

I live in Flag. and this fire was so devastating. The fire is thought to be caused be an abandoned campfire. We've already had to cut off the most popular camping sites, because people won't watch their fires. What are we going to have to do next? Make it so no one can camp at all? Come on people, is it really that hard to pour some water on your fire and turn it? Please remember to leave you fire dead out. If you don't, who will?

[jerszio8]

Wow it is so intense to see our dear little Flagstaff burn like this. Reminds me of the missionary ridge fire in Durango! Noooooo!

The video is sweet.  What, did you use the smallest aperture ever?

Also, song: cheesy. I'm the king of cheesy and I'm calling it cheesy. Ever heard of Sigur Rós?

[motandrew]

@jerszio8 You are f-ing r tard. that song is so emotional and moving it makes me remember every great moment I enjoyed in Fstaff because of that music. If you can make you cry it isn't cheesy its vibrant and unique.

Also, your comment is stupid and you are stupid and you are from colorado and you are a mormon, and you probably can't read. Who cares about Durango, this is FSTAFF! Smaller aperatures take better landscape photos. Don't you know anything?!? you dumb cowboy hick!

[MsEvaMarie]

This is heartbreaking. I grew up in Flagstaff and the mountain burned in 1977. I remember that day like it was yesterday. And now it's happening again. The tears flow and my heart is broken. :(

[Skorcher69]

Flagstaff is like a second home to me, sad to see it up in flames.

[juggaloripley]

I grew up in Flagstaff, and am now living in tempe for college, I got back home for the weekend on the day the fire broke out. It tore me apart watching the fire come up on 89.

[azsnoopy2002]

Been in Flagstaff, Arizona for almost 40 years and the Peaks are like my best friend. I was Married on the Peaks and a friends ashes are scattered in Lockett Meadows. Watching all this is like watching a good friend die. Everytime I see the Peaks I cry, God please save her

[jmchood]

Thanks for putting this up --

Even though it rips me like a knife to watch it.

[live4mtns]

Been upset for days but this is the first time I cried. This area is one of the most beautiful places in Arizona. Hoping my new baby girl will be able to know the same love that I do.

[ehcmier]

That angle really shows more than the news photos. That quite reminds me of when Mt. Elden burned up in 1977. We had just moved to the new Fernwood Estates development and we were given the evacuation notice, packing precious few things into our little car. The Mars Hill bark-beetle devastation, and the constant forest removal for development all just cut out pieces of my heart.

[jmcran]

Haven't lived in Flag since 1989, but I was up there on the day the fire started. Drove through town on Monday and wanted to cry. Thanks for this video.  It feels like losing a close friend, but something I needed to see.

[SeaFairey]

This took my breath away...then made me cry.

[LifeDigitized]

Something so dreadful and yet so beautiful! Nature has a way to renew itself...

[Chinodavis]

I hope they catch the guy who did this and sentence him to life in Attica.

[zenmonkey9]

Finally, the first comprehensive view of the fire. Thank you, though it rips me in two to watch it.

[ecaspianmd]

@zenmonkey9 I just can't stop crying....

[petekosednar]

One of those stars was speeding.

[loganbrumm]

Living on the West side you never see how terrifying the fire really is. Thank you so much for sharing. This is absolutely beautiful and sad.

[JangoFett07]

Ahhhhhhhh! Our mountain is on fire!

Sheesh, it's gonna look just awful when this is over. Scarring like crazy.

[B111AB1NG]

Heartbreaking indeed.

[RayPierreWhit]

heart broken

[ecaspianmd]

@RayPierreWhit - yes...my heart will never be the same..this was my best friend..the forest...played here the past 10 years of my life..it was my sacred place....

[Mikerdzign]

OK, I'm grieving now, been suppressing it but this is too sad. :.(

[marciebakker]

Heartbreakingly beautiful! I live about 4 miles from there and it is incredibly sad for the Peaks and for all of the people....

[cameronclarkphoto]

nice one Charlie. Is that the view from your house? Pretty sweet.

[CannedWorlds]

I know it's been said but still - - - Beautiful footage, but so sad...

[colorfauna]

This is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

[outbackstucco]

Charlie, where were you when you shot this? And what night was it? Great video.

[pledisfan]

[loralei3]

@pledisfan it is amy lee (Evanescence) all of me

[CYLONEJACK]

really gives you the sense of the massive size. thanks for uploading.

[Mpoufh]

Great work!!

[kruettinger]

As the mother of a sleepless firefighter, I speak from my heart when I say, you captured what my son is fighting for on the peaks! Thank you

[ReallyRick]

This video is gorgeous.
