To capture an enormous firestorm on film, Eli Jarra set up two digital SLR cameras and an HD video camera in his backyard and recorded for twenty-eight hours. The compiled footage, shown in a time lapse format, is absolutely spectacular. At high speed, the wildfire that spread across hillsides near Simi Valley, California in September of 2005 looks a bit like steel wool set ablaze by a nine volt battery.

High five to Mark at Boing Boing. Link
