Thunderhead
Every
late summer and fall, the Los Angeles Basin is visited by furnace-like
blasts of heat that blow in from the surrounding deserts. When these
hot air movements hit the rim of the 6,000-10,000 foot mountains
which border Los Angeles to the north and east, they rise up to
form massive thunderheads. One day I tracked these thunderheads
from noon until dusk, driving my truck from Downtown L.A. over the
San Gabriel Mountains along Angeles Forest Highway. Just before
I came out onto the floor of the Mojave Desert, I saw this formation
shooting up over the scrub-covered hills. |
