Finally have my camera back!!

I finally got my luggage and camera back. Here are a few pictures looking out our hotel window. This was the first 2 hours of the fire. After that we thought they had it under control and headed out to our family's house in Glenrosa. In that 10 minutes it grew from 10 hectares to 50, jumped the highway and was making it's way down the mountain right above us. That's when we were evacuated.

about an hour in:
