Here's one I got at sunset in August when the #GiffordFire was burning out of control. #Sunset #LaCumbrePeak #SantaBarbara #Photography
Dark clouds of smoke cover the sky and filter the sun, creating a striking Orange hue
Here's a crazy #Sunset shot I got up on #LaCumbrePeak back in August when the #GiffordFire was raging. Even the fog below me was a bright Orange. Not a fan of wildfires but they sure create some wild looking colors. #SantaBarbara #Photography
Your house is burning and you can only save one record
(I literally just had to do this due to evac from the #giffordfire . we're ok, but terrifying)

Sunset from a few weeks ago when the #GiffordFire was raging. Snapped this one up on La Cumbre Peak about 4K feet above #SantaBarbara. #Photography

Containment is now 91% after burning 131,589 acres (~205.6 sq mi) north of Santa Maria. Thanks to the hard work of firefighters & added resources, the most difficult phase is complete. Crews remain on the ground securing hot spots. #Wildfires #CAwx
Notice the scars along the mountainsides. The blackened slopes and charred trees reveal the devastation left behind โ a stark reminder that even as containment rises, recovery will take years. #GiffordFire #CAwx

On a hill and I can see the massive smoke river (canโt think of better term) carrying smoke from SLO County to Ventura County. Maybe farther? #GiffordFire
