Stuart Palley’s long exposures of California wildfires illustrate both the beauty and devastation of a natural disaster that’s affecting the state more than ever during its current, historic drought. Palley (who you can follow on Instagram) captures the fires’ drama and scope by depicting them at night, when their effect on the landscape is all the more obvious.
