Guard of honour by the Alexander Nevsky monument in Moscow, 1900. The monument was demolished in 1918.

 


Heh

 


Ouch! Another masterpiece

 From Steve Inman.

Warning, a little bit gruesome.  But not too bad.

Starting off the summer fire season in fine style

Just today a burn started out at Lakehead.  In this picture you can see I-5 crossing Shasta Lake, and I hear they've shut down one lane already.

This one's still pretty small, but as hot and dry as it is here, who knows.  There's a reader of this blog that lives up there, so I hope he's ok.

 This one's been named the Salt Fire.



Two that have been going a day or so are the Lava Fire and the Tennant Fire, up by Mount Shasta.  This picture makes it really look like lava flowing all around.


Disaster!
