FIRE
Living in Southern California has made me immune to the summer brush fires that have ravaged our area over the last few years.
But when the blaze is happening right outside your window and the ash is falling into your backyard, you tend to take notice. I spent the better part of yesterday afternoon and evening with my eyes on the Griffith Park fire.
Some moments in the evening, the mountain looked more like a volcano with the flames on the other side creating a bright red and orange backdrop over the smoke and cinder.
It's a horrible thing, but I'm glad they have it pretty much contained by now.
