still standing

smoky air permeates the neighbourhoods, but at least the houses are still standing, unlike in Oregon and California where entire towns have been obliterated

This is a statement making photo with the tall buildings in the haze and the older homes free of smoke. Great composition and editorial image. I hope everyone is spared. V.

Scary how prevalent these fire are...

Strong documentary image with this smoky view. You are lucky you are far away from the fires.

Obstructing the view and not very good for the lungs either. V

Nice contrast and light in this terrific composition, David. V.

The smoke is really moving up to you guys. The scenes and the photos from the northwest are frightening and so sad.

the scale of the fires is incredible, the entire west coast has been affected, the drought of the forests and all it takes is a spark ...

Impressive image with the smoke! V!

Such a lovely neighborhood, with the big city looming in the background through the smoke and haze.

This looks like it could be from the past if not for those building seeking out is the smoke!
This really captures a terrifying feeling!

And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did...

Wow, this shot really brings it home :o(

So tragic what is happening south of you David.
Nick Paoni13-Sep-2020 19:30
Yup and fire season is just getting started. :-(

Hopefully the smoke raises awareness and concern about climate change.

Quite the contrast between urban and suburban, but too bad the smoke is seeping into the neighborhoods, too. Tim's mother lives in Clackamas County, just outside Portland, and we're trying to get her to come stay with us for a while.

ces incendies répétés sont malheureusement la preuve du réchauffement climatique et de la sécheresse que nous subissons ! j'espère que vous arriverez à la circonscrire le plus rapidement possible ! v
