Wildfire
Here's the view from my office in downtown L.A. That big cloud on the horizon is a wildfire caused when a red-tailed hawk flew into some power lines.

(from justin) i feel bad for the hawk. at least he's getting his five minutes of fame though. and he makes pale male look like a girlie-hawk.
"Power lines can be made less dangerous by widening the gap between conducting and ground wires, insulating wires and metal parts, and moving wires farther away from pole tops. And guards can be built around favorite raptor perches."

what an amazing shot! it looks like vesuvius erupting on the horizon. and what an amazing view from your office...all i see is the top of the next building...but sometimes the restaurant down the street smokes alot and sets the fire alarms off. monroe excitement.
