The west coast of the US has been ravaged by a series of wildfires like I've never seen before. It continues without relent even today. I am hundreds of miles from the major fires, yet the air outside is rated hazardous.
Two days ago our natural weather pattern of a heavy cold marine layer (fog) in the mornings combined with the smoke drifting above to produce a dark and red light that looked like the surface of mars. This shot is from mid-day. It was cold and nearly as dark as night (cars needed their headlights)
