I got to the car and went inland for a walk in the hills but stopped just down the road to get a shot a fire in the hills just down coast, there had been another fire off to the left which had been going all night.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj1La5FB396EH6UC4XtWSSk79vuR3m8GeXUDLXelau6Dl5HmOiOHgHlMheGiBDUPgWDNS-jisrybow-8x1lF33BErFdm1E6TdC1xzV5h_u2z_MKLaQq0nOUuB037oxAyZWyAEQl__sq3bJI-q1GOQLj1TVogRTIME3SXxJzkjx9WID9JQn3tjsSJAFq=w640-h636) |
