A captivating nighttime timelapse captured a bushfire blazing in the distance over Lake Bellfield, Australia, on Wednesday, December 25, with the calm, mirror-like waters reflecting a canopy of stars.“I watched one of the most devastatingly beautiful scenes last night,” William Merlin Hudson wrote. “As fires burned away to the south of Halls Gap, there wasn’t a breath of wind, the lake was glassy and the world around blissfully peaceful.”Residents of Bellfield, Australia, were urged to seek immediate shelter, as they were warned, ‘You are in danger and must act now to survive.’As of Thursday afternoon, the bushfire had exceeded 80,000 hectares (197,684 acres), prompting authorities to urge local residents to evacuate several neighboring areas.
