The following pictures were taken in San Diego last week. With all of the wild fires taking place the smoke presents some very unique opportunities. My prayers are with the families that have to endure these devastating fires.

The first was taken from Shelter Island looking towards San Diego in the morning.

The second is looking West towards the sunset taken the day before. It is a HDR composite in which the flag was processed to be brighter that what the background exposure would have allowed.

All comments and critiques are appreciated.
