Juxtaposing: Pyro-Cumulus With Cumulo-Nimbus
Certainly the timelapse video footage screencap’d on the left that I caught of the Station Fire late Sunday afternoon from the roof of my Silver Lake house is neither as compelling nor as dramatic as others made much closer to the devastation being wrought.
But it immediately reminded me of the timelapse video screencap’d on the right that I made a couple days shy of two years ago from the exact same location of the exact same landscape, only this time the billowing clouds were strictly meteorological in nature, not pyrological.
Both videos are available after the jump, and it’s interesting to see them play out together from a then-and-now perspective.

This is incredible. Thank you, Will.
Thanks Michele. I’ve rearranged the post with stills and the vids jumped so it doesn’t take up so much space on the front page.
It was fine the way it was, but thank you. :)
Those pointy trees resemble those on my street in Silver Lake. I wonder if we live on the same street?
Verdell if we’re neighbors and I didn’t know it I’ll eat my hat. I’m south of Sunset and between Silver Lake Boulevard and Benton Way.
Will, this looks awesome! (note lack of surprise on my face) I’ve been toying with timelapse lately. What do you use??
