Dramatic Pictures

Here are two dramatic pictures of the LA wildfires that were posted on the Discover Magazine's Cosmic Variances blog site:

You can't get much more dramatic than these two pictures.

I've driven down I-5 during a wildfire. It was pretty scary because you are coming through mountains seeing big ugly black smoke up ahead hoping that the road will turn and take you away. In my case, no. I drove through while a wildfire was cresting the adjacent mountains. Acrid smoke was everywhere. Seeing flames a few thousand yards away is pretty disconcerting.
