California Rim Fire Time Lapse Finds Beauty In Awfulness

Everybody, including the people who made the video in this post, can agree that there is nothing good to say about the massive Rim Fire near Yosemite National Park in California.

It has already burned through more than 300 square miles of forest, and the fire rages on. It'll take weeks to fully put out, we're told.

The video, below, though, shows some cool time lapse images of the huge fire taken from a variety of perspectives. The fire has a certain beauty, even if it destroys huge tracts of forest and threatens a lot of property.
