The smoke gets pretty thick

Downtown, there is little or no fire danger. There is, however,
very poor air quality. There was a bit of photoshopping in this image.
If I hadn't artificially lightened the lower portion, you wouldn't be
able to see downtown. Maybe a filter on the lens would have helped but
I don't have that.

It's a beautiful photo in spite of the terrible source of the smoke.

Wow. I'd hate to be breathing that. Great shot, though.

I just can't bring myself to going out for pictures of the fires. As it is now my throat is so sore I can hardy swallow, not to speak about how my lungs and sinuses feel at the moment as well. Great capture Gary.

Looks bad & is not good for one's health...seems like a good time to pack that tent & ride out of town for a while, Gary. The images continue to sadden !!

Wow...this really puts things in perspective. Great shot of a really bad situation Gary.
