Hollywood Marine

[RamZnation]

What's going on everyone? A few weeks ago my friends and I were talking about taking some pictures of me in the Armor. We decided to take those pictures at the Hollywood sign and scheducled it for Saturday the 29th (Yesterday).

Problem is that this morning there was a large moutain fire right next to the Hollywood sign, but I was set on getting this pictures that I went anyway since there were no evacuations.

This is the first picture from my place going to my friend Jennifer's place.

The 2nd was at a walgreens on the way, stopped to get some Peanut Butter M&Ms and a Cold drink:

Here I am about 5 minutes away, the smoke looks almost a Mushroom Cloud...Looks like Hollywood got nuked

Echo Four going into the Lions' Den


Here are the pictures at the sign. I have 7 of them right now, but in total I think there were 71 pictures taken. Will post more later on.

Thanks, DK. Might go take some more in a few weeks when the Mountain Fires die out and it's much cooler outside. I just looked at fires from my place and it looks pretty nasty. I can see flames look Red from here (my place) and the Orange Glow. in the Sky. As you can tell by when I'm posting this. It's almost 2 AM.

Sorry guys no pics. I don't have a Dig camera right now to take it with the Zoom and I don't live in the safest neighborhood in L.A. to walk outside right now and take a cell phone pic. I'll see if anyone of my friends may have taken a night time shot of the Fires and I'll load that pic. No lie, I would say these flames are probably shooting about 20-30 feet (judging by what the distance from my place to the local mountains is) possibly even more.

Those pictures are awesome. Stay safe with all the fires going on out there.

man, so cal fires always suck. stay safe bro!

[RamZnation]

Thanks guys. I'm pretty safe from the fires since I live pretty far way from them. Only problem is the air quality, the sky is a brownish orange this morning and with all the LA smog, it's not helping much. Cool thing about the Fires and my armor is that it resembles they Mygeeto environment.



The reason why it looks really big is because there are 2 fires that are really close to each other and about to Connect. The Altadena fire, and La Canada Flintridge (station Fire). Here are a few pictures I pulled online from this weekend's fires:

*The hill in the middle is where the Hollywood sign is at.

Here is a link if anyone is interested in the Local Fires. I won't post more pictures of the fires since I don't want to go off topic considering I want to use this post for my photoshoot at the Hollywood sign.

Thanks!

Here are some more...








***If you notice the sky is completley Blue, so any white cloud cover you see on these picture is actually smoke from the fires.

The pics came out nice, Eryq. Glad that you're away from the fires even if it's not a great neighborhood. Take care of yourself and stay safe - far from the fires.

[RamZnation]

Thanks Jen. The station fire has been more contained. I have not heard anything on the news about it in the past 24 Hrs. Last I heard was 22% contained, and that was yesterday so I'm guessing it's improved since then. I can't see the flames anymore, but that's only because the sky is gray and brown.

I'm probably gonna go take more pics in a few weeks so I'll post them up here again.

Ooo nice! awesome pice dude! I just want to get on with mine now!!

[RamZnation]

Thanks!

As you can see, it's totally worth it in the end.
...plus my GM still isn't finished. I still need Toe armor, proper backpack, under suit, and adjustment on my shins.
