[QUOTE="nvts, post: 213139, member: 3814"] GVC! So glad you came out relatively unscathed! Here's an admission. I've watched these fires over the years on the news many, many times and I have to say that your pictures actually made it more "real" to me than any news coverage ever has. You know, you look at these things on the tv and it seems so ethereal, so far away (I'm in NY) and so surreal that you don't see it in its true perspective. Now you see it from a right in front of you perspective and it just seems so much more...right there, know what I mean? You know, the news shows it from a parking lot of a supermarket with zoom lenses, etc. or an air shot so everything seems very distant. Now you see it from "here's my backyard" and it really blows your mind. Glad all of you are safe and back home "snug as a bug in a (flame retardant) rug"! Beth [/QUOTE]
