…or where the fire meets the houses. The CalWood fire reaches the base of the mountains after a downhill/ downwind sprint (see previous post for more thorough description). With minimal warning, all residents of houses in the potential path of the fire were able to evacuate, some with harrowing stories of driving vehicles past exploding trees. Sadly 26 homes were lost to the fire, though it could have been far worse. The fire hit the boundary with the former Overland fire (2003, on the left in the photo) with a loss of fuel (trees) and began to slow down significantly. Flames are faintly visible in the lower center of the picture burning through grass. The fire continued to burn slowly toward the south for a few days, but has been largely contained and will probably be extinguished by 2 cold fronts coming through the area in the next 4 days. The brownish color of the clouds is real and is the result of the ash emitted by the burning vegetation. Cumulus clouds of water droplets are visible in the back, partially obscured by smoke from different fires to the west (left).
I'm sorry that I couldn't check out your recent pictures for almost 2 months because I've been busy preparing for the collective exhibition in Tokyo. I try to catch up!
I'm sorry I've not checked out recent pictures from you because I took another trip to the Kansai district in Japan for a week. I'll catch you up as soon as possible…

I was really drawn to the contrast in textures in this particular scene. The untouched sand of Whitley Bay beach juxtaposed against the surreal patterns appearing in the fast flowing stream running out to sea. I framed the shot diagonally to give equal balance to both elements and used an exposure of five seconds to help smooth out the water.
People who complain that software engineers build unwieldy, unfriendly and outright mindboggling user interfaces need to look back in history to realize that hardware engineers have not always been much better in that respect. A good place to do that is the Railway Museum in Utrecht, the Netherlands.

Sunrise moves in stage for me ... also in focal lengths,,,I usually start out with the 15mm and end up with the 70-200.
