Flames from the wind-whipped Colorado Fire burned right up to the iconic Bixby Bridge on Highway 1 on Saturday.
Bay Area News Group photographer Karl Mondon snapped a dramatic photo of the blaze Saturday morning, showing flames spreading behind the famous bridge as dawn broke.

As of Sunday morning, the fire stood at 1,050 acres and was 25% contained, according to Cal Fire.
It started at 7:17 p.m. Friday on Palo Colorado Canyon Road in Big Sur and led to evacuations and a closure of Highway 1.
