Title: Not so luminous landscape: Holy Fire, CA
Post by: plugsnpixels on August 11, 2018, 03:03:39 am: Holy Fire as seen from Fullerton CA a couple days ago. Six floors up in an office building.

From ABC: "The smoke from the California wildfires has not only been impacting the West Coast. Incredibly enough, it has reached New York City -- 3,000 miles away."

Valuable accounts, all of them. #4 is perhaps the best commentary with the smoke dark sky and the sprawling asphalt lot with all it's cars.
Thank you for posting this.

I wish I could send enough to make a difference. It is a real tragedy.

I remember our first visit to Palm Springs in 2005. We were there five days and it rained all five. We remarked to a local how green the desert was, and he replied there would be wildfires that summer and fall.
