View of the fires at the top of the mountain from my front yard in North East Altadena right under Mt. Wilson
I swapped it out in July and it should still have had a few weeks/months left in it, but the fires apparently have caked it up. Based on previous changes of filters in the house every 3 months, this looks like about 2 years or more of dust build up. Changed it because the filter seemed to be whistling in the ducting.
I’m just South and slightly West of the Wilson Observatory which is at the top of the mountain just above our house. Fortunately we’re not in any of the preliminary evacuation zones which are all immediately South of the fire. We won’t really need to worry heavily unless it gets closer to the observatory.
An oddly orangish sun peeks out over the trees

Sunrise this morning looking east.
View from the back yard toward the Bobcat fire: haunting orange sun rises from behind the smoke
I drove out to San Marino to have a better view of the Bobcat fire just above Azusa
A closer view of the fire plume just before dusk. This shot is from my back yard about 15 miles from the center of the Bobcat fire.
