re: #69 Charles

Maybe … but that looks like an extreme telephoto lens setting, which could “shorten” the background radically. Those hills in the background could appear larger and closer than they are.

The debris looks a little suspicious, but it could be large pieces of a structure; that looks like a helluva big explosion.

I don’t really see anything obviously faked.

Look close at the flag, if indeed it is going out and up, then why is it stretched as if in the breeze? shouldn’t it be laying and trailing the heavier flagpole?
