[Leica] Tuesday trees

[leica_r8 at hotmail.com (Aram Langhans)]

Interesting series.? I take it that was the fire a few years ago from 
the looks of things.? My brother was evacuated 3 times for that fire.? 
Each time he moved, the fire spread and he had to move again.? 
Fortunately his house was OK after it was all said and done.
