Final image of the lot. Wow..I really felt uncomfortable shooting a subject with the potential for loss of property, injury or worse.. but once i saw the FD had a hand on the situation i went with my gut and looked for something that would be my focus. This tree has been in so many of my coastal landscape shots that it had to be it. This i feel is the best of the shots i took. I can only imagine what the home owner is thinking watching the tanker dropping water on the bluffs behind his home as the fireman look on.
I have taken so many coastline sunset photos from the park with this tree in it. It was amazing to see how the FD worked the bluff under this tree. (Thanks guys!) I don't ever remember having feelings for a tree...but I now have an elevated appriciation for nature!
