It’s getting hot in hurr

Triple digit heat, winds and close to 0% humidity means it’s that unfortunate time of the year here in Southern California. Though fire season seems to be damn near year round now, it seems like Los Angeles County had dodged the bullet until this week. Here are a couple photos I snapped last night in the midst of being a looky-loo. This is the Station Fire, seen from Pasadena, burning along Angeles Crest Hwy. on the front ranges of the San Gabriel Mountains above La Cañada. My thoughts go out to those affected, and especially to the men and women who put their lives at risk fighting the flames.

I was out on that bridge last night taking almost the same picture as the first one. Hope it doesn’t mean any evacuations in Altadena.
