More Photos and Video from Griffith Park
As the hills in Los Feliz and Griffith Park burn, we passed by this grassy median at Los Feliz Blvd. and Vermont where we saw this gentleman laying on his back watching the fire inbetween snores.
We got as close to the fire as they would allow us and we took this video and other pictures below.
If you've got photos, upload them on Flickr and tag them laist and we will possibly include them in our next photo essay.
Johnny Mountain is now crowing that this is their first fire in HD. Horray?
