Smokey Sunrise

Sunrise #20 on Scavenger list - Walnut Creek, CA view map

Lots of fires in California leads to red sunrises. Taken from my living room/sunroom window yesterday. Another Spare the Air day, and expected to last all week. Recreational & unnecessary driving discourage, cautions for exercising outdoors. (the red stripe was very visible, not an artifact)
Some might stay inside and party...

Beautiful image Flo! Reminds me (sans smoke) of past memories when we'd visit my uncle in Crockett. V

Fine capture although sad at the loss of so much territory..

When a colorful sunrise is NOT a good thing. V

It is a beautiful shot, but made sombre by knowing about the fires. V

Yes, California is burning, we are having the same up here in Washington state. We need rain bad.

The fires, the Indonesian earthquake all so very sad to see...perhaps a quiet day of board games or knitting gloves for the homeless is something I would prefer over partying which these three seem to have overindulged in :) V

The Ca fires were the main topic on the French news last night - horrendous.
It's a great image and very atmospheric.

A great view and nice capture. Would be nicer without the smoke, but its become a fact of life.

Makes my lungs hurt just looking at it! So that party inside involves a cool drink and an oxygen mask? (Cool aid and a napkin doesn't count! ;-) (V)

So sorry about these fires. Praying for an end to them. Strong image. Be careful in that smoke.
