That was my hubby's work, literally off the porch. It is pretty much contained and they are in the last stages of overhaul. But damn, report of fire, them are some tall flames!!!!
By the way, he took this with a D300, but I needed to get it to fit in a nice twitter feed. Nothing like news coming to you, heh! Channel 10 locally ran the photo as well.
My 5100 did not have the proper lens and quite frankly the sensor size was again part of the problem.

(154,021 posts)2. It started at a palm tree
Near or at a homeless camp. Thankfully the Arrundo did not catch. Those two burn, and burn hard.

(60,071 posts)7. We have that here. Not sure it can survive our winters. There has to be a natural
predator for this plant.
