Image meta-data says it was taken on the 6th of this month. It looks like it was taken from the hill on Lookout Rd in Gunbarrel. That's similar to the view I can recall from that vantage, anyway

It's Boulder, but it's Boulder as it was 2 nights ago.
Don't just blindly follow links, check timestamps people!

I'm in Boulder and there is no possible vantage point for that image...def photoshop dramatization

I don't think it is Boulder. Where is it taken from? It is not Dakota ridge. .It is not Mt.Sanitas and if you go more north you don't get all the lights.

It is Boulder. Watch the news.

I agree with fooblahblah. This does NOT look like Boulder.

Ya know, I think I'm full of BS :) More I look the more it looks like Boulder. Got me. My apologies...

I'm calling this photo BS. Looks like a photo from either Santa Barbara or San Diego!

It's hard to fathom that fire is not only destructive but cleansing sometimes.

Beautiful photo--I just pray that everyone remains safe and that it burns out quickly.

Now all we need is a giant s'more... Stay safe, John!

Scenic but terrific. Would not like to be close to it. A view from space is here: http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/view.php?id=45675

Beautiful yet terrifying.
