this is my photo, the other ones were from some news channel, I took 3 photos and used photoshop to merge them into one panoramic view of what it looks like about 20 minutes ago.
This is overlooking where my brother's house is, he is a little worried about his house now, it seems that the fire is moving towards his neighborhood, the fire has doubled in size in the last day or two.
the colors of the sunset were pretty breathtaking. I'd say about 400 - 500 people drove up to the top of the mountain to watch this. This is just the view from one of the stop off points along the road. I live about 4 miles from where this fire is at right here. just on the other side of the mountain from me, luckily there is a large resevoir between the fire and me. so hopefully I won't be affected directly by this.
