California Burns: Personal Project by Rob Badger

9 photos

California wildfires can erupt and burn hundreds of thousands of acres per year. Often homes in both rural and urban areas are reduced to charred rubble. Rob Badger created these photos from the 240,00 acre Zaca Fire near Santa Barbara in 2007, the Oakridge Fire in Los Angeles, and the Montecito Fire in the Santa Barabara hills.
