We have started the fire season down here..we had a brush fire a few days ago at a target practice area at Camp Pendleton..it was pretty close to civilian housing, it was just over the ridge from our friends house. Luckily it was contained pretty fast and didn't hurt any properties. NOW at 3:00 today another fire broke out over on the base again and this time we have the Santa Anna winds (hot winds from the desert) which blows the fires out of control and they are hard to contain. This time 500 + houses got evacuated on base and a ton off base also, they have set up evacuation areas at the high school and now it is a waiting game. It is horrible!! The one thing a fire brings are amazing sunsets..the nasty clouds are actually smoke from the fire coming to the coast. They are sending planes which will come over our house and swoop down by the pier and get water and head back to the fire...it is amazing to watch!! So, now we are back to having ash raining on us and the great scent of fires rushing through the house!!!
Sunset..look at the ship in the lower right side....

I love the fire sunsets, they are so pretty. I am sorry though that you have to smell smoke all the time!
Crazy!!! I bet the girls like watching the planes come in. Good luck breathing!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
Wow! That's crazy! I didn't realize you were so close to the ocean! How fun is that? Will you be affected by the actual fire? Those sunset photos were AMAZING! Hopefully the smoke doesn't get too bad in your house!
I am so sorry that you have to inhale that smokey air. I think it is really neat that you get some amazing pictures. You are a great Photographer.
