Background

Below are some shots taken from within Tucson of the Aspen Fire burning in the Catalinas. The fire destroyed several hundred houses on the mountain (mostly vacation cabins, but there are a few year-round residents up there who were made homeless), and the fire threatened two observatory sites and an antenna complex. The winds were blowing from the south up unitl the last day of the fire, so we did not get a lot of smoke in town.
