This picture was taken at about 3pm on the first day of the Languna Beach Wildfire, October 27, 1993. A strong Santa Ana wind was blowing all day long and I was heading home early to get in some late season windsurfing.

I just happened to have my camera with me.

This shot is from the Newport Blvd. waterway overpass looking down the Lido Channel. Mariners Mile is on the left.
