(Click on photo to enlarge.)While shooting photos of the dramatic smoke from the La Canada/Station Fire, I was struck by the similarity to thunderheads that form over the same mountains every summer. A search through my archives turned up a photo, above, I shot almost 2 years ago to the day of the firestorm photo, below. The steep mountains and extreme heat from the fire creates similar weather conditions making the dramatic pyrocumulus clouds of smoke.
