Summer has arrived, and with it came some excitement this weekend. We could see the smoke from the drive home, and knew it was close. But how close?
I took these shots just down the road from our cabin.
Some nice pyro-cumulus on the top there (white).
And an "anvil" where the cloud formed by the fire can't go up anymore, so it goes side-ways.
The fire crews were incredible. We lost count of how many times these planes made runs to the airport over our heads. They laid a nice fire-line down to the south (in the direction of our and many other cabins) and the fire went north with the wind. I heard the cause was a power line.
The fire was out by the next morning!
