California Burning!

i-0fbc2243d0aa1ec7e4a49776273f57ae-scalifornia_amo_2007295_tn.jpgThe NASA Earth observatory has some amazing photos of the wildfires in California. I've put a small version of one image here, but you should go to the NASA site and see the high resolution images. The fires are horrible but the images are fantastic.

The fires are horrible, but as with so many things in nature there is power, awe and wonder and beauty, even when there is also destruction. I am sure a volcanologist thinks an exploding volcano is a beautiful thing.
