Smoky, smoggy day

Ottawa

Looking across Mile Circle in Rockcliffe Park. The smoke actually looks like a lovely atmospheric mist, but it isn't. Air quality was extremely bad today, and the smell of smoke was strong. Amazing that the smoke from Quebec wildfires north of here is bad enough that smoke has travelled this far. It seems all of Canada is burning at present, a very distressing thought.

A beautiful image but yes, a distressing context. Wish we could send half the rain we've had here that way.

C’est un temps d’automne au mois de juin. Il faut espérer que cela ne dur pas trop longtemps.

We had, and still have, the same problem here in Quebec City, hard on the asthma!

Excellent mood but I can also feel the
concern over the air!

A few drizzles of rain is keeping that away from my area but we've smelled it in the past.

It does look very much like mist in the air, Christine. But it is sadly drifting smoke from the wildfires.V

A dramatic situation ... Every year the same now in Canada...

Oh dear, still happening.

So depressing to see that air; it must be terrible to be living with it. V.

it sure is atmospheric in an image, but yes nasty air to breathe...lots of fires in the west too, but coastal winds are keeping Vancouver OK, at least for the moment..
