John and I often start our Sunday morning at the gym, and this Sunday was no different, especially after spending part of Saturday celebrating the Boks win. I also purchased a car that weekend, and it needed a clean so post the gym session (our gym will remind you of the Point in Cape Town, Old Ed's in JNB and LA Fitness in High Street Ken in London- you know the one where you have to pay GBP50 extra a month to have less grubby change rooms, and prettier (so obviously foreign) service staff, we went to get our cars washed and this was the first we realised that the fires had started. The first photo was taken around 1pm.
The second photo was taken around 3pm. You also get to see a photo of the apartment complex we live in. Lots of palm trees. It was strange because in this type of weather, there were also many people ballooning (yes, ballooning is a big thing in Del Mar)
Around 5pm, John and I decided to take a drive, I needed to get some sports stuff and we were planning on seeing a movie later. Photo No. 3 was taken on Del Mar Heights Road - by now visibility was not great and there was plenty of smoke in the air. Photo No 4 was taken around 6.30pm. One of the best sunsets seen in San Diego and now you can understand why..
The last photo was actually taken in full colour on the Wednesday morning post the fires. The sky no doubt grey from all the smoke.. This photo was taken from the parking lot near Torrey Pines beach on my way to work.. Kind of eery but serene in an odd sort of way..
