What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Aliso Viejo
Hardly any chimney here is old brick, because this city is young and most homes are attached. A report usually covers a factory-built or gas unit. An association often wants the same format for all its buildings, and that is what it gets. Marine moisture reaches these hills, milder than at the shore, so metal parts still get a close read. Santa Anas blow through the canyons at times. Wood fires must stay out on any declared No-Burn day, which is one reason the fuel gets listed.
