One view of the fires

Here are some photos taken by Steve and I this afternoon when the light suddenly turned orange.

The wind seemed to be blowing almost directly south, which pushed everything in our direction. Jon wanted to go see the fire (how close I asked? about 45 feet was his reply... we had a little talk about the power of fire) but we passed on that. Those folks already have enough problems to deal with.

While working on these pictures I had to turn on the light in my office because I could barely see... 4:30 and it's already twilight.
