Fire, from Fillmore to Montecito and Carpenteria, persisted for much of December. \u00a0On the 9th, Rook and I headed out to find something interesting to photograph. \u00a0We tried to get close to Ojai, but roads were closed. \u00a0We headed to Carpenteria, and just found more dull smoke and closed roads. \u00a0We wound up at a burned-out nursery a little west of Ventura. \u00a0A day or two prior to that I drove to Santa Barbara, and saw an interesting low-level smoke layer over the ocean. \u00a0The final photos below show a smoke plume, looking from Moorpark towards Fillmore.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top:
