L.A. is burning

600 acres of Griffith Park on the east side of Los Angeles were consumed in a brush fire that started yesterday at around 2 p.m. The LAFD says the fire is half contained now.

The smudge in the center of the picture is a plane dropping water on the fire.

This is the church atop Forest Lawn Cemetery in Glendale. I got in after dark and wondered if the gates would be locked behind me. That would've stunk, because I am resistant to my mortality.

This picture was taken across the L.A. River from Griffith Park around 8:15 p.m.

That first shot is crazy. Did you take them from your neighborhood (you live near the Valley, right?)?
I took the first one near Sunset Junction as I was driving home from work. I wanted to climb on the roof of the bar but I looked suspicious.
