As we are well aware, the Western US has been burning. Yesterday, I stopped in on what is left of the small town of Malden, in Eastern Washington State.
The area is heavy with the noxious smell of everything that has burned, as well as the continuing pall of smoke coming up from California and Oregon from all of the other numerous fires.
I have visited Malden to take photos multiple times over the years and felt sick to see what had become of the area. Some of the residents who have lost their homes are living in campers on site.
It was surreal, like a black and white movie, as most color has either been burned up, painted with soot by the consuming flames, or muted by the fog of smoke hanging in the air.
This scene continues to play out again and again all over the West Coast.
I truly hope the folks of Malden and the numerous others that have suffered loss from the fires persevere.
