While others may come a wassailing, I opted for something different today...

The Napalm Forest

On such a damp, dark and dreary December day I wasn't much in the holiday spirit so I opted to do something different. I took a stroll to the grove of wild palms on the fringes of Palm Springs that recently burned. Quite eerie indeed with a thick scent of wet ash and dirt. The muddy ground and the dark cloudy skies added to the melancholy atmosphere. I was the only one there.

The fire razed through several acres about a month ago and the smoke could be seen from the entire Coachella Valley...  It's worth a trek to see the aftermath first hand.

Very interesting view.  I'm sure it was even more striking in person.
