Island on Fire

Slide Interlude 2, 2007-05-10

A little prayer for our friends over in Avalon, on the island of Catalina, may be in order. The smoke you can see in this telephoto shot from a highrise’s webcam in downtown Long Beach, in mid-afternoon, shows the start of a rapidly moving brush fire that now threatens the main city on the island.

We here in Long Beach are more or less the closest city to Avalon, we’re the port Catalina visitors sail in and out of, as a rule, and, though our Catalina cousins are often forgotten in the daily bustle of mainland life, when people on Catalina look across the channel, Overland (as the mainland is known in the highly insular Avalon community), Long Beach is where their attention is usually focused.

  1. The Philosopher Queen

    The grand show is eternal…it is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never all dried at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising…eternal sunrise, eternal sunset, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls. ~ ? And the Lord shall guide thee continually and satisfy thy soul in drought and make fat thy bones and thou shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not ~ Isaiah 58:11 More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of ~ Tennyson
