Very interesting shots Jay. Thanks for compiling them so we could see them :)

And just think... If they'd employ prescribed burning on a *real scale* around residences and landmarks, they wouldn't have to have "emergency conditions". This is one where I think they can only fight fire... with fire. The suppression has been too long and their pathetic attempts to dump literal buckets of water on it ain't going anywhere now. It irritates me to death that the current methods of control can poision countless organisms and STILL continue compounding the problem.

Like it or not, rules change when human lives or property is in danger. My
wife and I just returned from a vacation to western Oregon. One night we
stayed in a fire lookout in SW Oregon and could see the fires, especially
the smoke. I made a little photo essay to share with family and friends.
It's off topic and kind of corny, but if you're interested it's at
