Heh.

The second time there's been a fire in the hollywood hills, visible from my office, and I didn't have my camera. First was right by the Hollywood sign. This one by Griffith Observatory (Rebel Without a Cause locale).

It's that time of year again...

It seems we can't get through spring/summer without at least a half-dozen big fires any more. You would think people would learn sooner or later...oh wait, I'm expecting too much again. Well, in a few years there shouldn't be anything left to burn. OK, sarcasim mode off....

The LA Times has a section of reader-submitted photos.

And here are the LA Times photographer's images.

The OC Post/OC Register had a really cool photo of the Griffith Observatory lit by fire from behind but I haven't been able to find that image online yet.

There just might be some dgrinners in those reader's photos. I noticed a few familiar names from some mailing lists I'm on.

Here's a dgrinner's photo posted in field and street...

Thanks!

It took a bit of searching as the story is no longer on the CNN home page, however I did find that photo...

Yeah, he better check. Then he can start another thread on it: "AP used my photo".

I must say that i find that there are better photographs in the readers section then the photgraphers section. Some of the latter obviously used the highlight shadow feature too much - maybe to alter badly exposed pics...

Strange maybe to say, but some of the reader pics have such nice colors.

The papers better watch out for the D-grinners: we are GOOD!!!!
And getting better all the time
