Angel Island is the largest island in the bay and for the last two hours it has been on fire.
It spread from two acres to ten acre in fifteen minutes due to the high winds.

It has quite a history, Japanese and German POW's were imprisoned there in WWII.

Took these from my deck, the city lights you can see in the second shot belong to Emeryville.

First one taken with a no name 70's screwmount 200mm 3.9 and a no name 70's screwmount 2xTC both purchased with a pristine Spotmatic purchased in Okinawa in 1970.
Second shot is without the TC.
Not great shots but newsworthy.

Nope, it sure doesn't look that far, but with those 400mm's of old glass tend to really compress "apparent" distances beyond a certain point. Amazing performance really!

Mike, let's just say it's between 2 and 12 miles, that covers us.

Gary it's not like me to leave more than one reply, but I wanted you to know that I keep coming back to look at these shots. I've saved them now!

Thanks Jeff
