Smoke on the water

This has nothing to do with Deep Purple :). (Google it if you don't recognize the reference)

 

Forest fires are raging in British Columbia, Canada. Where I live, 200 miles (300 km) to the south, this is the effect on my neighborhood. The smoke is so thick you can cut it with a knife.

 

On a normal day, you can see Seattle 20 miles in the distance. Today, you can barely see the passing ferry 1/2 mile away.

 

Very unhealthy. Not good.

 

I don't usually create photos for documentary purposes. This is an exception. I don't consider it a particularly good photo, but it reflects my reality these past couple of weeks.
