The fireline by about 8pm as viewed from the beach. At this point ash was falling very quickly, coating everything in sight. My eyes were stung badly several times setting up for this shot.

I headed over to a co-worker's house in Laguna Hills to pitch in on the moving effort after I took this shot. Thankfully the Santa Anas died about an hour later and we didn't have to evacuate. The fire did not make any further advance towards Newport Beach or Laguna Hills after about 9pm.
