It was pretty hot this week

These pictures were from the roof of the Casa Aloha in senic Los Feliz on Tuesday. That thing that's burning is Griffith Park - a pretty nice expanse of wilderness smack-dab in the middle of the amazing strip-mall that is El-Ay. It's pretty astounding to have that at the end of your street, but in the big city, you roll with what comes at you.
I eventually got tired of watching and went back inside, and fell asleep to the sound of 12 news helicopters hovering above my house grabbing video. When I got up the next day - there was only smoke hovering above the trees.

Man - thats scary. We had bushfires here, but at worst it threatens outskirts and little villages while burning through a heap of bush. That looks like a city bush fire.

We had a two week period where we were enveloped in smoke. Sunrises would be a deep orange.
