  2. Thanks Popeye! I'm sorry you had boat troubles, but you suck!

    This US island is home to flora found nowhere else. Now, a #wildfire threatens #extinction: ‘watching with trepidation’

    Firefighters are racing to douse flames on #SantaRosa Island as experts express concern for survival of its unique habitat

    "A 67-year-old sailor crashed his boat into the rocks on the island’s shore last week, according to the US Coast Guard. The man fired at least two flares in order to catch the attention of passing vessels, prompting speculation that the shots first set the blaze. Coast Guard officers rescued the man, who did not appear to suffer any injuries.

    "Footage obtained by SFGate, however, showed a burning sailboat on the shore of Santa Rosa Island – presumably the same boat crashed by the marooned sailor. It was unclear whether the boat exploded on its own or the sailor set fire to it."

    Video from the afternoon of May 20, 2026 -

    Based on initial assessments by firefighters and the flight imagery from an Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) module today, the Torrey Pines on Santa Rosa Island still exist and remain largely intact. The fire front came from south to north, and appears to have lost energy after burning through the non-native grasses downslope of the trees. By the time it reached the ridge along Upper Torrey Pines Road it transitioned into a backing fire with lower intensity and moved downhill towards the ocean. This type of fire tends to consume the understory vegetation and leaves the canopy largely intact.

    It appears that some small pockets of the Torrey Pines did burn with higher intensity within the larger stand. These pockets that sustained more damage were likely burned in short, uphill runs by the fire. This is typically caused by material like logs rolling down hill and carrying flame down, where it then burns up the slope with more vigor. This type of activity is common in areas with steep and rugged terrain like Santa Rosa Island.

    The National Park Service has special firefighters, known as fire effects crews that will go to this area taking measurements such as specific fire severity calculations and observations. This is not just a single snapshot but will be part of long-term monitoring of effects to better understand fire in this ecosystem.

  8. I shot Torrey Pines Road Bridge as a train slipped under the span and wildflowers led the view toward the coast. The scene presents movement and stillness in soft light.

    Are you drawn more to the train or the flowers? Would this fit better in a study or a sunlit hallway? A calm addition to your space.

  9. I photographed the Torrey Pines viaduct as soft light swept the coast and wildflowers framed the arch.

    Which detail pulls you in - the bridge’s curve or the foreground color? Would this coastal view suit your living room or workspace? Subtle addition to any space.

  10. Torrey Pines State Beach sunrise, coastal perfection

    At dawn I watched the pale blue tower standing above a pastel sea, its quiet geometry against an endless horizon. The scene presents a calm vigilance and a pause between night and day.

    Hard to catch these guys (in focus). Was amazing how low to the water they could cruise.

    Only had the 300 zoom with me @ct_bergstrom

  16. It seems every Republican's wet dream of California sliding into the ocean is already happening...

    youtube.com/watch?v=n0TjcmNsjP

    But don't forget that Florida is now a Swiss cheese of sinkholes and is just a few feet of sea level rise from also disappearing into the ocean.

    Meanwhile California has millions of acres of land well above sea level should a coastal retreat ever be needed. Florida... not so much.
