Here are a couple of new links you may be interested in for coverage of the California wildfires.

KPCC's coverage has been consolidated here. Here's a really great slideshow (via Flickr) organized by KPCC with pictures from its audience members.

KTLA is providing an occasional live online feed from its news helicopter. The feed is occasionally difficult to access (presumably because of bandwidth) but is impressive and unfiltered.

For Twitter users, the California Fire Information feed is a very helpful feed. You can also find information on its Web site.

Sky and Telescope Magazine is providing a live blog of efforts to save the famed Mt. Wilson Observatory.

Bob,

The lighting and colors in that photo are absolutely outstanding--looks more like a painting than a photo. Thank you for posting it!
