Description
This image of the raw power of a nighttime fire consuming Main Street, Greenfield , Mass., was captured not by a professional photojournalist, but a member of the Brotherhood of the Spirit commune. In the middle of the foreground, the ghostly trace of firefighters on their ladder can be seen, dwarfed by the flames.
