Fire In The Sky

This was the scene driving home this evening (I tried for a better shot but it's all I could manage):

Notice the dark fumes hovering above traffic.

Shawnelle came to pick me up from work several minutes late, today. Her excuse? The traffic was bananas. I began my umpteenth rant about the woes of sharing a car when I noticed the huuuge black cloud hanging over the valley. Something was up.

Driving up Burbank Ave we saw it: It looked like an almost endless line of fire blazing in the hills. The frightening thing is it appeared way too close to home.

Later this evening, we scaled the building for this shot:

Shawnelle watches the blaze from the rooftop.

Now would be a great time for rain!

(We'll keep you posted...)
