Was driving home late last week around 1AM. I passed by what looked like a fire scene in San Leandro, California and dropped in. Lucky to have my camera with me.

This was a matress store. The blaze had started almost two hours earlier. I arrived as the last flames were being extinguished.

It was very tricky tring to get a steady shot in the darkenss with no tripod. I submitted this photo to the local newspaper, but they didn't print it. (Boo hoo!) Heck, it will get a wider audience here.
