End To A Smoky Memorial Day


"I smell smoke."

Early Monday morning, May 31. My apartment windows are wide open. Is something on fire? Smells like wood burning.

Turn on the TV and find out that smoke pollution is rolling through the Champlain Valley from wildfires up north in Quebec, Canada. Thousands of acres are burning.

Later on as I walk around there is that ubiquitous smell accompanied by persistent haze. But not as bad as years ago when similar conditions made the sun a peach color during the day.

Evening comes and I try to capture some of the colors from the wildfire tinting.
