Just wanted to post something.

I haven't posted in awhile, so I dug out some shots I took early last fall on a drive over to Alexander Valley. The Kincade Fire burned through these hills a couple of weeks after I took these.

The drive out there was nice, on a country road with some cool old houses:



I couldn't get out to the vines to shoot across the tops, so I'm stuck with a less than ideal wall of vines in the foreground:






Mt. St. Helena in the background, with commo towers and a fire lookout on top:



Vines and trees starting to show fall colors:



Random terrain shot. You can see how dry our hills get during summer:


That's it. Hope you all are well and maintaining your sanity during these times.

I drove back over after the fire and took some photos in the same area. The house on the left in the first photo was saved, but the hills and trees were pretty thoroughly burned.

Yep, Fire Season is practically year round out here these days. As you know, we don't get those rains that you guys get during summer. I recall that as being particularly nice.
