Telephoto time exposure from my back patio. An ultralight crashed into Slide Mountain, on the west side of Washoe Valley, Sunday afternoon and started this fire. At least the wind wasn't blowing this way... The fire was pretty much out by Monday morning, and the area is now contained. They're saying the total burned area is about 64 acres. The location is of the fire itself rather than the photo point. Inserts show (left) the fire just after starting; and (right) after it had burned up the slope. It was nice the firefighters managed to hold it at the top of that slope!
