Living Downwind From the Wildfires

 I had expected grey skies.

What I hadn't expected was the constant smell of a bonfire.

Right after I took this photo a woman who lives up the block who I have never met before stopped to commiserate about how weird everything felt. She remarked that the sky looked like the fetid sky of Cairo which apparently looks like this every day.

The weird yellow cast to the light is a little terrifying.

I haven't altered these photos one bit. There isn't a filter except for the one created by the smoke.

These photos of the view from my living room were taken around noon. I can only imagine what it will be like later today.

And we are hundreds of miles away from the fires. Wear your masks...be careful out there.
