Impact From The California Wildfires, A 30,000 Foot View
Posted in California, Landscape, Locations, Photography, Stock Photo by JimLast week on my flight out to Utah I got an amazing glimpse of the impact that the California wildfires are having on the state. The pristine Sierra Nevada mountains looked more like the Great Smokey Mountains. I suppose this is to be expected when 2000+ fires rage out of control through the state for several weeks. Even with this view from 30,000 feet it’s tough to fathom the scale of destruction and the lingering effects it will have on the land and air.
