This image was sent to me by a particularly imaginative and dorky friend, who said she saw a “seal looking up.”

Actually, it is an Oct. 10 NASA Earth Observatory satellite image of the remains of a massive wildfire that raged across northern Minnesota for nearly two months. The burned areas show as the charcoal outline.
Lightning ignited the blaze in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness on Aug. 18. The fire is now 80 percent contained, according to the Duluth News Tribune.
But more than 90,000 acres burned.
I’m not seeing the seal … maybe a llama with a weird butt?
What do you see, Echo readers?
I see natural processes at work.
Wes – great minds identify animal shapes within burn patterns alike!
Seal, looking up, from the side.
