California's wildfires photographed from the air during a Tuesday Burbank to Chicago flight

Check these out! These incredibly timely shots of California's devastating wildfires come to us from Mary Novak of Flossmoor who took them on a flight back to Chicago from Burbank Tuesday. In her e-mail accompanying the shots, Mary tells us:
 
"As you can see, the California fires are causing much smoke and some unusual cloud-like formations."
 
These are terrific, Mary--THANKS very much for sharing them with us!
