Southern California Fire Pictures

I took these while on a walk Saturday. If you look carefully, the distant set of tall buildings, especially seen in the second picture and the last picture, is downtown Los Angeles. You can see that there is little wind, as the smoke just goes straight up instead of blanketing out across the whole region. From where I was standing, I could only slightly smell smoke, but that might have been from another previous fire just a few miles from where I was.




 

So this is looking up at the lookout point - where the first set of LA fire pictures were taken from. This was a fire that broke out yesterday. I saw the smoke as I was heading away from the beach, towards my parents house. It would have been awesome to see the super scoopers get ocean water, but I was gone from the ocean by that time.
