What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Palmdale
Most homes in this city are young enough that a metal flue in a factory-built fireplace is the normal subject. An older ranch house may still have masonry, which the report treats as a separate kind of chimney with its own checklist. Grit on the wind, summer near 100 degrees and frosty nights all work at caps and crowns. Lake Palmdale marks the line of the San Andreas on the south side. Rule 445 alerts stay out of it, because Antelope Valley AQMD governs here.
