Smoke from a wildfire burning northeast of Los Angeles. Sky to the west is totally clear. Sunlight is orange.

Smoke plume from a wildfire burning northeast of Los Angeles. It hasn’t had time to diffuse through the whole basin yet, and the wind has cleared out all the smog, so the sky to the west is a gorgeous blue and the distant mountains and skyline are completely clear.

The sun is shining. The grass is green. I don’t see any orange trees…

The sun is shining. The grass is green. I don’t see any orange trees, and the palm trees aren’t swaying much, but it’s clear enough that I can see Beverly Hills, LA in the distance on December the 24th. All that said, I’d rather be here than someplace with subzero temperatures, “White Christmas” or otherwise. #losangeles #christmas #christmaseve #sunshine #christmassongs
