Pictures of Griffith Park

Anyone else saddened by the fire 3 weeks ago?  I walk Milo by the wash.  Now the once lush hills of Griffith park are charred landscapes with little green to offer.

I missed the actual fire.  I was at work.  When I came home that night, the hillsides looked like lava was flowing down.  It was quite spectacular.  I found some pretty cool pictures on Flicker (click here) 

One of the things to note about such occurences is how the whole city becomes involved and worried about the possible loss.  No matter what strata you fulfill or think you fulfill, something is happening that you realize affects everyone, including you.  Like Jury Duty, catastrophes are good equalizers.

I have seen fires on the hills before.  The worst one I hear is one that occured in 1933.  The park usually recovers.  I hope it does so soon.  I miss the green. 

Have a good week.
