Excitement at the Park

I was talking on the phone with my sister who lives in Gainesville FL the other day and she was complaining about how the place was on fire. "oh it's so crazy" she says. I says "welcome to our world, every summer LA goes up in flames". Not two minutes after those words come out of my mouth I look up and see the plumes of smoke that signal another conflagration somewhere in the hills. Turns out it's a huge fire in Griffith Park. Our new place is on the eastern border of the park so we had a decent view of it. Pretty wild, I don't think we've had a real fire there in forever. Anyway, you can see the pix I took here. I started a Flickr account to show my pix. It's a bit easier I think so hopefully it will work out. A note about the pix: I should have used a tripod. I'm lazy and that's what seperates me from the pros probably. They give you an idea of what it was like though.
