I've not been in the middle of a bunch of fires before, but on my latest trip to California brought me upon scorched earth and tons of smoke and occasional ash.
The photo here was taken by my friend as we were driving up to Paradise, CA. It was very strange to see black ground and trees that had brown leaves about half way up their length and then green leaves at the top.
The day after we went to Paradise more evacuations took place there because of different fires going crazy.
The strangest thing is seeing ash fall like snow and it looking like a dark overcast winter day outside, but when you go outside it's 105 degrees.
Needless to say, I stayed inside much of the time that I was there, which is fine by me, but thank goodness for a gym pass so I could get a day of running in without clogging up my lungs.
