San Diego Fires

Today, much of San Diego is on fire, but my area is actually doing pretty well right now. We have mostly clear skies with a little wind. But up to the north, down to the south, and in the east county it is smokey and fiery. Here is a picture of the smokey area just to the north of San Diego. It was taken at SDSU at about 9:20am this morning.

I know I said I was going to post an update on my running horses painting, but I will do that tomorrow. I am making great progress on it.

Storm Sky near Lake Henshaw

This photo was taken with my Argus Digital Camera. It was taken last month on Highway 79 near Lake Henshaw in San Diego County.

Where I was today, August 30th, 2007

Today, I went out to take pictures as there were some thunderstorms forming in the mountains. Here's one I took with my Argus camera. It is a digital camera that is fully automatic. I used some digital darkroom techniques to adjust the color and contrast, mostly levels and dodge and burn.
