 * Reason: A dramatic photograph taken at some personal risk: a major fire rages quite close to the rooftop where this was shot 102 years ago when camera equipment was heavy and required a tripod. If the wind had shifted in the photographer's direction a swift evacuation would have been difficult.  This event was one of the worst natural disasters in United States history.
