This shot is towards Mount Wilson, which you can barely see. Anything you see in the sky is smoke, not clouds.
Useful reference sites:

Mt Wilson Webcam (UCLA Observatory) (May have loading issues, it's being hit pretty hard. Especially interesting pictures at night.)
LA Times google map.
ENPLAN Wildfire map.
Possibly more pictures here if I take any other interesting ones. The view from our apartment isn't that great.
