A Smokey Sunset

I took this shot at Seaside during the time of our recent wildfires. While the image is eerily beautiful in its own way, sadly it is a sobering reminder of the effects that global warming and climate change are having on our environment.

This is so extremely beautiful but the color gives it such a powerful unknown feeling!
Really amazing work and words.

..........what the cause of it is.

Beautiful sky color and great image....quite ambivalent feel if you know what the caus of it. !!V

it is ironic how such wondrous skies stem from polluted air, in this case exacerbated by the smoke...the strong lines of the waves contrast well with the soft colour gradations above..

Agreed, your image is both beautiful and disconcerting.

What a gorgeous composition. I fear that such skies will become more common unless there is a dedicated effort to clear the underbrush. Living in a fire zone I find every hot windy day a distinct threat. ~V~

A lot to ponder here, this is a great shot on its own but so important to see the results of the terrible fires.

Outstanding composition with those amazing colors. V.

Love and concerning moods brought out
over the circumstances.

It is indeed beautiful and also a stark reminder of the dangers we face.

Your image has magical colors due to the unfortunate reason for them. "VVV"
