Here’s a view of the sun from the ‘clothesline observation platform’ at our house. This is the Sun through some Arbutus branches. I’ve not seen the sky and sun like this. Very smoky up the mountain where we live. Lots of haze down at ocean level, but no smoke smell there tonight.
Beautiful in its own way. Great shot.
Thanks Gayle.
Be glad when this is over; tired of the hot, and just spent an hour vacuuming the soot and ash bit inside the house…
One wonders if this year’s going to be as bad as it was out in your province some years back for forest fires.
Has the potential to be much, much worse.
