Now you see it - Now you don't.

I had a chance yesterday to tour over these areas and strangely enough it all feels very "clean", not in the sense of "not dirty" but like a clean sweep. There is dust and ash and smoke still blowing about but the sights remind me of a japanese type landscape where only the bare elements remain and all the busyness of the shrubs and grass and leaves have gone.




Here are some before and after shots. The area around the dam was most affected, and must have been a very hot fire.



The Gypsy van at the top of the dam before fires.

Only the fridge and the trailer base remains.

Park walnuts were singed only, orchard saved by mike keeping irrigation on all night
