Dante’s View
(Griffith Park Fire, Los Angeles)
Update: it sounds like Dante’s View is gone.
Update #2: to include a few of the remarkable photos from LA Times and its readers below.
I took the below earlier this evening; it is my first meager attempt at amateur phonecam journalism (emphasis on amateur - - mine is the bad one.) It doesn’t come close to doing the subject justice. Picture snagged from the LA Times shows what I could see but not capture with the hardware on hand.
It sounds like the winds have finally died down and the fire teams are making progress now. Some friends in that neighborhood have had to evacuate temporarily and may be headed over to sleep in the guest room. My best wishes to the rescue workers and everyone directly impacted by the fire.
The LA Times blog has breaking coverage. A few more pictures after the jump.
