\nHere’s a photo essay of the overwhelming (hand-made) “Signs of heart-felt appreciation<\/strong>” from local folks for the men and women fighting Big Sur’s terrible Soberanes Fire in July and August 2016.<\/p>\n

\"Fire

Fire Fighter Sculpture<\/p><\/div>\n

I found more than 100 signs on Carmel Valley Road<\/strong> alone. Some are elaborate works of art, some small, some huge, some clever, and one is a sculpture of a\u00a0fireman. Some thank those who have saved animals and the helicopter crews.<\/p>\n

From simple to snazzy, be advised the sheer volume and sincere sentiment might inspire tears.<\/p>\n

You are most welcome to comment to let us all know which are your favorites; or maybe you would like to give some of the artists some well-deserved recognition.<\/p>\n

(And if you know of a nice or heart warming sign I’ve missed – please post a photo or let me know where it is .)<\/p>\n

With best wishes for all who have lost something to the fire,
\n-David
