Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Burned mobile home neighborhood in Sylmar, California

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Original - The remains of Oakridge Mobile Home Park in Sylmar, California. 480 of the park's 600 mobile homes were burned in the Sayre Fire in November 2008.
Edit 1 - Fixed tilt[dubiousdiscuss], sharpen
Reason
The image was taken a few days after the Sayre Fire in November 2008. There were a lot of reports in the local news about the site, as it lost almost all the homes in the park. The area was deemed a crime scene by the LAPD, and the public were not permitted access. This is one of the few free images that exist of the area. Although the image is a bit cluttered, what with all the burned rubble, I believe it is of encyclopedic value and that it meets the FPC criteria, but then I'm no image wiz. <shrug> This is my first PFC, so be kind :)
