This weekend one of my best friends was evacuated because of The Valley Fire in California. I just wanted to post up a link to a photo gallery. But while reviewing the pictures and all the destruction, I came to realize that even when fire is destructive it is still amazing and creates a dramatic scene that can affect more than the emotion of sadness or fear. What do you feel? For me, I ran through all of them. Some of the foundations belong to people I grew up with and some homes that were saved, sharing the same fence line, in the same image. The most powerful picture is the image of the "Welcome to Middletown" sign on fire at night.
