This weekend I headed out around town to take pictures of the “Station Fire” near La CaƱada Flintridge. This is an area that I became familiar with earlier in the year with several hiking trips including the summit of Josephine Peak and Strawberry Peak. The landscape will be dramatically different when I next return there, as these peaks are within the fire area.

My photographic mission started Friday night as I headed to Pasadena to see what I could find. The results were surreal.
