Here are some shots of the San Diego County fire, all taken the morning of October 22, 2007.

This shot is looking southeast from my street, toward the large fire in the Escondido/Rancho Bernardo area.

Here is a wider-angle view, again looking southwest...

Here is a zoom shot of the fire - the closest flame is about 15 miles away...

Here is a shot of the beach, with the huge smoke plume looming over the ocean.

The surf is very clean this morning, with a south swell at about 4-6 feet, so there are a lot of surfers in the water.

This shot is looking south along the coast, toward San Diego, showing the large smoke plume...

More smoke plume, again looking south. Taken from the beach about 3 blocks from my office...

A smoke plume looming over my street with the morning sun...

More smoke plume and beach...

Also looking south at the smoke plume...

And, finally, a shot of happy dogs after a mud fight...
