Red Hot Sunset---Sky Watch

The evening sky has been amazing this past week. I love a glorious sunset. Now I have been told that the red sun is from the smoke in the sky caused by the forest fires in British Columbia. Beauty from tragedy. I hope the fires are under control. MB

Smoke sure can make a pretty sky. These are great shots.

You are very correct. Several years ago on a trip to eastern Washington the smoke from wild fires really did affect the sky and sunset. Great shots MB.

Simply amazing shots. The same sun appears so differently around the world but the horrible wild fires are part of nature, too...sadly.

My daughter called me in the middle of a dinner meeting to go outside and see this sunset, and the next evening we were in the car and saw it together. Just amazing color. When I lived in California a run sun like this indicated fires somewhere.

You really captured the feel of it with these beautiful shots, MB. Hope you keep enjoying all your lovely surroundings up there. We are lucking out with this early summeriness.

My daughter's graduation ceremony Tuesday night was outdoors, and I was really thankful for gorgeous warm skies.
