Night fires

I went driving to Lucia tonight because Feynner and I could see glowing coming from the south. I turned the corner at Lopez Point and wow! Orange light everywhere. Looked like Kilauea erupting and fire descending the mountainsides. Here are some pictures.

This is looking up from nearby Kirk Creek campground towards Espinosa, the camp on the ridgetop between Hare Canyon and Kirk Creek.

This is looking into the same general area from the north.

I took this next shot from the highway bridge at Limekiln State Park, looking up and south.
