Ventura, CA wildfire photos

These are shots that I took from highway 101 yesterday morning on our way out of town.

Those aren't clouds ... that's smoke.

This was my first wildfire. The daughter of the folks we were staying with Thursday night had to evacuate and so she and her housemate grabbed their favorite things and joined us for breakfast. We watched the extent of the burning for a bit on TV after we were done eating.
