rocketsandrayguns: austinkleon: A photo of the wildfires surrounding us in Austin, TX, taken by Deanna Roy This should put things into perspective for y’all. (click the photo to embiggen.) B: If you want to be freaked out, take a look at the photo I just posted on Tumblr. Me: (picks up iPad, clicks.) …Motherfucker. This view is roughly southeast. Maybe it’s from Mt. Bonnell, or one of the other tall hills to the west of the city? The tallest building is the Austonian, a condo high-rise, and the Frost Bank tower (smaller, prickly-looking) is to the left. The State Capitol is probably just outside the frame further left. The plume is from the Bastrop Co. fires, about 30 minutes away, depending on how fast you drive and the amount of traffic.
