June Sunset cont.

These clouds were very welcome to the shoot!

June Sunset

I found this view of Los Angeles just in time for sunset. This was late in the session, after the sun finally went low enough to shoot without lens flare. We had these clouds all day.

Universal Studio Fire

A wide shot as the fire continued. This wwas the view I had as I had an on air cell phone chat with Eyewitness news.

After a larger explosion, we saw a small mushroom cloud. A sadly spectacular morning.

This is a shot of the debis that was literally raining from the sky. I picked up a few pieces that were a couple inches across. They were very warm to the touch. I was concerned about fires being started by the falling debris.

The air was filled with burning materials. A "brushfire" sky.

Universal Studio Fire

The Universal backlot goes up. I was awakened by the frightening sound of explosions and shrapnel arcing in the air.
