Balboa Island

After friday night's craze, we slept till late afternoon and keep to our plan to head up to L.A for some crazy sales shopping. When we're almost going out, the sunlight hits in my room and it's so yellow as like a sun set light, but it's only 2pm! Although the sun sets around 5pm and pitch dark around 530pm. But it's only 2pm! how can that be? went out and take a good look at the sky, there's a thick dark clouds and that's what cause the wierd sun light, yet the other part of the sky is clear blue. So it gives a nice ligthing to my car :p  so i went ahead and took a few shots.

So, we continue our jorney to L.A. And was as suspected, it's no dark clouds. Listen to the radio and found out that was smoke from the wild fire that are burning up there. It's really scarry, i did not took any photos because i both my hands was on the steering wheels :p As we're approaching towards north, it get's hazzier, worse than KL's worse hit haze. Sun is blocked by the thick smoke, and it's so yellow. and you can see ashes white and black flying towards the car, And smell of burning. Imagine you're in sillent hill. it's worse than that :p And heard from radio that lots of freeways are closing down because of the poor visiblity and the burning, people are stuck in the exit of freeways and they just abandoned thier car and save themselves. That's how serious it is. We decided to turn back and not to continue even we try to avoid the few affected freeways. Better safe than sorry and while we're not stuck in any exits yet. Wanted to stop somewhere to take few shots but the air is just so bad. So we head to the beach and wanted to go for the Frozen Banana that we always crave of! :)  out of the dark and into the bright, with clear sky and fresh air! 

houses in Balboa Island is over millions :) and with a private jeti and thier big boats!
