wildfire
taken from atop runyon canyon saturday morning (right in my neighborhood) the air smells like a campfire, depending on where we are in the city. we drove to glendale last night & could see the flames & smokey sky. the moon was big & red, i tried to get a pic, but couldnt capture it from the car. the photo below is from the LA Times.
a now 42,500-acre fire is burning the angeles national forrest this weekend & will continue on into next week. we hiked in this area a year and a half ago:( two firefighters have died already, 18 houses have burned & people have been injured. also, the humane society and animal shelters are functioning like noah's arc for the pets of the people who have had to evacuate. the fire is threatening mt. wilson now, which houses tv and radio transmitters for "every major station in los angeles". as of sunday night, the fire is only 5% contained.
