Fire

The week-ends are all about the bike... Two hours yesterday and four hours today. For my long ride this morning I decided to climb up Latigo Canyon to check the damages done by the recent fire. It was sobering, everything was black and burnt in the lower part of the canyon. Because of the very strong winds it ended up being a pretty bad idea, the dust flying everywhere was very annoying.


The firefighter efforts to save houses were obvious and many inhabited areas have been successfully protected. Not this one below, with its burnt palmtrees.



The upper part of the canyon was not touched by the fire and the views on the ocean were great this morning.
