The flames from the Colwood and Lefthand Canyon fires have moved away but the smoke remains in the Front Range.

From lower center to top center we have wood ducks, a deer and some Canada geese on Waukau Creek. The smokey air painted some interesting colors in the otherwise bright afternoon sun that day.

The day's first warm light, enhanced by wildfire smoke, on Mt. Adams 50 miles away as seen from Dege Peak. A few of the peaks of the Governor's Ridge in between caught the glow nicely as well. The hike in the dark was sure worth it this morning to reach this spot before the dawn's beauty slipped away.
"Mount Adams, known by some Native American tribes as Pahto or Klickitat, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range. Although Adams has not erupted in more than 1,000 years, it is not considered extinct. It is the second-highest mountain in Washington, after Mount Rainier.
Adams, named for President John Adams, is a member of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, and is one of the arc's largest volcanoes, located in a remote wilderness approximately 34 miles (55 km) east of Mount St. Helens." Wikipedia
Hope to get to know this iconic peak more....
Happy Friday! Enjoy a wonderful day and weekend!
Last year's forest fire and this year's smoke embrace the landscape of the Lava Fields National Monument in California. The split tree in the foreground is likely the result of many instances of dry lighting where the fires began. For a long time, I had no desire to shoot photos of the drought and fires ravaging the West. I've since decided as a photographer, it is important to tell the story of what is happening across our planet.
Below Hells Canyon on the Snake River between Idaho and Oregon, are a series of dams and reservoirs. This is the reservoir at Brownlee Dam. Low water marks are an indication of the drought the west is experiencing and the sky is hazy from all of the nearby wildfires.

Occasionally, dark spots freckle the face of the Sun. These are sunspots, cooler regions on the Sun caused by a concentration of magnetic field lines. Sunspots are the visible component of active regions, areas of intense and complex magnetic fields on the Sun that are the source of solar eruptions. Sunspots can be seen on the Sun’s photosphere, or visible surface of the Sun.
The number of sunspots goes up and down as the Sun goes through its natural 11-year cycle. Scientists use sunspots to help them track this cycle. NASA

Another one of the photos I captured last night as the sun was setting in smoke-filled skies over Bluebird Estates.
Enjoy your day!
Perhaps selling and allowing fireworks is a bad idea. Smoky skies due to a fire in Utah, started by fireworks.. Our air quality always suffers during July!
On this particular evening.....we were supposed to be setting up for some milky way shots.......that did not happen.......smoke from the western wildfires saturated the area and gave us this sunset over the badlands of south Dakota.
We are getting the high altitude smoke from the Alberta wildfires all the way here in the Mid-Atlantic. Seen on my after dinner walk. HWW!
I shot these sandhill cranes (Antigone canadensis, Gruidae) in bright backlighting at sunset. The original image had a moody glow to it. I liked the Raw image but wanted a bit more of an aesthetic effect. To achieve the desired look, I used the haze filter in ACR going to the negative side. I like it.

I live in Canada where the smoke is being blown in from the forest fires. Our skies are grey but when the sun starts to go down it really shows. Smoky air is creating an interesting backdrop for my shots.
Last night, after mostly clear Summer weather in Vancouver, smoke from wildfires burning in the USA and interior BC flowed into Canada's West Coast.
A foggy sunrise is the worst disappointment. So much effort for nothing... but in this case, managed to capture the 10 seconds as the fog lifted and the sun finally broke through. Not quite the reason for getting up at the crack of dawn and trekking up the Langattock escarpment, but at least I didn't come away entirely empty handed.
The skies are hazy with smoke from Alberta fires. Correction: I heard on the news that this haze is due to wildfires in Northern Ontario and Quebec.
We got some wildfires and smoky sky going on for the last few days and the air quality has been quite bad...but to take something good out of it I was able to capture the "filtered" moon and the night sky together in one single exposure.

Panorama view of our smoky sunset again today, the smoke was a bit more prominent all day, you could smell it and at times it was very strong.

Shot yesterday while on a bike ride. First real bit of smoke that we experienced to fires up in the Shuswap.

This was one of the first days when the wildfire smoke began to ease its grip on the valley. Too little too late though. Summer was almost gone and we'd not had time to enjoy it.
It may not look very smoky in this shot but it was still there a bit, seen in an orangey-yellow cast to certain things, mainly evident here in the colour of the water.

As wildfire smoke begins to creep in from the BC interior, the setting sun over Vancouver turns a bright red.

Smoke from a wildfire in the Eastern Sierras area coloring the evening skies.
There's usually fire. We have quite a few wildfires currently burning unfortunately, and the air quality is awful.....but the sunrises and sunsets have been unreal! I had a day long quest on Sunday to find sunflowers and sunsets. Started at the sunflower fields near the Denver airport and ended the day in Longmont with a stunning sunset . First real outing I've had for photography since all the restrictions due to Covid-19.
