The Light At The Top Of The Smoke Cloud

Click the photo for a larger version. Here’s the music.

A smoke cloud from the La Cañada fire hovered around the valley for most of the day. This is looking north across the valley towards Burbank from Mulholland Drive.

I’ve enjoyed all your fire photos, but think this one is my favorite. I think you’ve captured the anger and power of the smoke and it prepares to do battle with civilization. Love it!

Awfully intense fire to have such a massive smoky cloud. Your shot really speaks of unleashed power. Scary stuff, though…
