From a vantage point in my Silver Lake backyard a few minutes ago I watched as a couple of LAFD helicopters made drops on a brushfire consuming a hillside ridge in Griffith Park east of Mt. Hollywood and above Los Feliz.
One close-up after the jump and the rest of my pix now up on my Flickr stream.
Your backyard is huge!
I could see it from the 12th floor of our office building on Wilshire. I look right at the Griffith Observatory on the hill, and the fire was just to the right of it.
