On Top of Old Smoky
Mount Wilson Observatory boasts the longest recorded history of the sun of any observatory - dating from 1906, two years after its founding in 1904 by George Ellery Hale.
Click here to access the webcam on top of Mount Wilson (elevation: 5,700 feet) and see its unsettling view of the approaching fire.
There hasn't been a fire burn over Mt. Wilson for over a hundred years - today's fire threatens to do just that.
update: Mt. Wilson webcam comes and goes - be patient and try again.

The Mount Wilson observatory web cam is DOWN.
There is an update posted: The Mount Wilson webserver has gone down, most likely due to a backfire infiltration of a pull box containing telephone lines that bring us our T1 internet service. The will be no more updates from the Towercam, the last one being upoaded at 13:49:06.
Last night, I stole this picture, before going to bed.
Love the colors! Hate the circumstances, unfortunately.
Great pic! Thanks for sharing it.
Terrible circumstances indeed.
