Sorry, no images of the actual fires, you get more than enough of that on TV:D
Although my heart goes out to those directly affected by this tragedy.

One of the few positive things that wildfires produce in SoCal are beautiful sunsets,
but the window in which to capture it is very short, I hope I did it justice.
You be the judge.

Russ, the 2nd Image is an award winner in my book, I really like that image a lot, very cool man, shots like that are what set great photographers apart from the usual suspects.

My heart and prayers too goe out to our fellow Californians, coming to work, as I go over the hill into Santa Clarita the skyline reminds me of a war torn country, Sad man to see all of the damage to our peoples homes and wildlife.
