Valley View at Night, a Spectacular Sight

Last night the hills behind Valley View were ablaze. This picture was taken at about 11:00 pm across the corner from Valley View. This was supposed to be the first official day of the school year but as you can see that did not happen. All of the fires in the background are actually control fires set by fire fighters. Check out this video for my first hand account of the evening:

Wow, this is a great shot. Good job documenting our fire for your class. I was just finishing my own blog when I read your email. I posted some stuff too! Of course I never thought of going up to VV when it was under evacuation orders...
