Unless you have been on another planet (have you??), you have seen coverage of the wildfires in Southern California.

NPR did a great piece on this photograph, taken by Karen Tapia-Anderson of the Los Angeles Times. Click on the link to see the picture and hear the story behind it. Photojournalists do whatever it takes to make great storytelling pictures that matter--that's why you should hire one to shoot your wedding :-)
