Walker Fire in the Mono Basin

Walker Fire in the Mono Basin
Time-lapse video footage from early yesterday morning of the fire burning south of Lee Vining, southwest of Mono Lake.  There are airplanes and satellites as you'd expect, but it looks like the camera caught a few late Perseid meteors as well.

    Jeff Sullivan love this on two levels. The feelings it brings up about being so close to this destruction and not having any control over its' outcome. Then, artistically, it's fabulous!  Color, beauty, and drama are revealed once you get over the first reaction.
