In San Francisco's East Bay, Mount Diablo rises above the landscape. In the extreme drought conditions of September 2013, a wildfire raced to the summit producing a volcano-like firestorm. I took this photo from my neighbor's deck overlooking the lights of Orinda. The extreme multi-year drought in California has been the enabler of hundreds of devastating wildfires. This image was featured on the cover of "Diablo" magazine which serves the East Bay.
