Sun Peeks Through Camp Fire Smoke: Photo Of The Week

The intensity of the smoke from the Camp Fire was captured recently by Patch reader Melissa Stevens. Melissa said she snapped this photo while driving past the Navarro Winery in Mendocino, the day after the fire erupted in Butte County.

Thank you for sharing this photo, Melissa.

It's Your Shot: Pictures You Take and We Share

It seems everyone's a photographer these days. Cell phones capture amazing images. True DSLR cameras render detail that almost looks surreal. We got to thinking. Why not share the pictures we receive, and see elsewhere, with you?

Have you got the next incredible photo? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is California, and that show off your unique talents.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com and we'll post the feature on an occasional basis. Or-- post it for free in our bulletin board section on the site, and we'll feature it up top. Be sure to also include when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was going on.
