Here are some pictures of the fire taken with my iPhone. This one is from a fire road in Topanga Canyon where I was hiking on Sunday, Aug 30th.
These two were taken from my office in Marina del Rey. The second one was taken through an old pair of Russian surplus binoculars. Someone else did a really good time lapse of the fire a few blocks down the road from my office: http://www.ireport.com/docs/DOC-322595
