Smoke and Truck

. . . So we had a brush fire here in the Palisades on Saturday. My friend and I were headed out the door to go for a walk and maybe take pictures somewhere, and we saw the smoke. Very exciting. It's nice to mix things up from time to time. The fire started on PCH and climbed its way up the bluff.

Our local boys in yellow hale from the mighty station of Sixty Nine. They must get so much ass.

Anyways . . .

My favorite tree survived. I'm a happy boy.

    My ex-girlfriend left me for a firefighter, I don't blame her. This is an awesome shot though.
