S'mores Anyone?
I took these pix of the Station Fire, north of downtown L.A., from my living room window at about 14 o'clock. It's at least 35 crow miles from here.
PIREPS said it topped at about 15,000'.

Saw that from the 91 Frwy after a visit to Mickey's for a pastrami sandwich and calzone. It's far enough away that we shouldn't be getting the smoke (famous last words, and not always the case).

Los Angeles wildfire doubles in size overnight
Mon Aug 31, 2009 1:06pm EDT
By Steve Gorman
LOS ANGELES, Aug 31 (Reuters) - A deadly wildfire burning out of control for a sixth day in the parched mountains north of Los Angeles doubled in size overnight on Monday and posed a continuing threat to Mount Wilson, a key communications nexus for the region's broadcasters and emergency services.
Two firefighters died on Sunday in a vehicle accident while battling the blaze deep in the Angeles National Forest and the rugged San Gabriel Mountains. Nearly 2,600 firefighting personnel, some from as far away as Montana and Wyoming, have been assembled to battle the flames.
The burned area ballooned to almost 86,000 acres (35,000 hectares) from 42,000 acres reported late Sunday, and the fire continued to encroach on the 5,700-foot summit of Mount Wilson, site of a world-famous observatory and a critical cluster of transmission towers for broadcasting and telecommunications....

I just got back from a trip through Utah and Colorado. The smoke was everywhere. Daytime sightseeing was obscured but sunsets and sunrises were spectacular.
Some interesting photo links:
