Queens Boulevard (Sunnyside) by Lewis McVey

(My friend Lewis, whose photo blog Foster Park has been on the blogroll for a while -- and will remain there -- has now started a new photo site called Typical Boring Queens, to document "New York City's fairest borough." I don't know about all that, but I know the photos will be great.)

Photo by Wally Skalij for the Los Angeles Times. "A group of young men watch the Station fire from a hill overlooking Tujunga. The fire, which began Aug. 26 near the Angeles Crest Highway, killed two firefighters and burned more than 160,000 acres. The cause of the blaze, which burned 250 square miles of the Angeles National Forest, was arson, officials said."
