Wildfire Near Palm Springs Wind Farms Caught on Time-Lapse!
At 11pm my friends and I headed to the Salton Sea area, three hours south-east of Orange County. I thought I was going to fall asleep in the car after a long day, but when we got to the wind farms near Palm Springs we found the side of the mountain ablaze in a fierey inferno. I photographed the fire all night long, and threw this video together as soon as I got home!
After that we traveled further south, and visited one of my old paintings at the Salton City Marina. I haven't seen that painting in half a year, so it was very surprising to find it just as I left it. Further down the road we ran into a whole string of homes that had never been finished, and decided to camp there for the night. We set up a BBQ on the front porch of one of the homes, and cooked up tri-tip steaks my friend, Shane, had prepared. Holy shit does that guy know how to make a killer steak rub (thanks Shane!).
Another amazing trip to the desert, and it was only two nights and one day. It felt like we were there much, much longer. I came home with 60 GB worth of images from the various shots we took. My poor hard drive!
