  • Enceladusj, on 07/09/2008, -2/+4What a beautiful picture
  • Anglemona, on 07/09/2008, -1/+2 Planets and Fire by Moonlight awesome...
  • rentmitchum, on 07/09/2008, -2/+2If I have to see one more person in a BustedTee ad with a sassy pose and a stupid look on their face and a shirt that tells me they think they are clever I'm gonna lose my mind.
    • Techaga, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1They must shoot all their ads in a very cold environment...
  • H3000, on 07/09/2008, -4/+1You wouldn't think it was so beautiful if you were here in SoCal, breathing ash and smoke, eyes burning. Ain't nothing beautiful about a wildfire.
  • SpinCaster, on 07/09/2008, -2/+1The photographer attempting to make a beautiful or inpsirational picture really missed the point. All the fires in California are horrendous.
  • nomiannzhere, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1I have to agree with H3000 and SpinCaster!

    It is a beautiful picture ... just wish the fire was NOT so bad. I was borne, raised, and lived in Oxnard ~ right next to Ventura ~ until 2003. My girlfriend told me the other day that depending on the winds, some days the smoke is so bad that the sun is bright orange. It is NOT a healthy time for us right now. I just pray that no one dies in this fire, nor any of the other 300+ that are going here right now. We have one close to us which is the Piute fire. Some days are very rough! BUT yes, I have to agree ... that is a gorgeous pic, just wish the fire was finished!!! Pray for our firefighters and families who are being affected.
  • h3lx, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1Correction: Fire and Orion's belt by the Moonlight.
    • pwdrskier, on 07/09/2008, -0/+2thats definitely not right seeing as the description was written by a NASA scientist who probably knows more than you
      • h3lx, on 07/09/2008, -1/+1I don't give a 2 bit flicks of a flying ***** who wrote what or how much the son of a bitch thinks he knows... that's Orion's ***** belt.
      • sbpyrat, on 07/10/2008, -0/+0I don't know who wrote the description, but they were wrong. That is clearly the constellation Orion next to the moon.
  • unitedstatians, on 07/09/2008, -2/+1knock!, knock! this is the dupe police.
