Smokey Sun Going Down

From a couple of nights ago. The sky last night was less dark with smoke but still eerie. We are heartbroken by all the devastation the fires in Oregon (as well as CA and WA) have caused. So many people (12% in OR) evacuated with a huge number of them losing their homes and so many of our beloved places destroyed. And what will happen with the Covid rates with so many people staying in support centers.
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

That is dreadful. I can't imagine what those poor people are going through. Let's hope it will be over soon and that lives are not lost.

I watched a report on the news about the fires and so many people being evacuated, it looks devastating.
Great image of the setting sun through the smoke.

Heartbreaking to see this on our news and to hear how many people affected! So much devastation plus covid 19 - the stuff of nightmares! Take care and stay safe!

so tragic! Makes me extra grateful for our clear blue sky today.
This has been quite a year.

Lots of drama here. Hope it clears off for you soon. It's a FAV! May I pin?

[Babs]

Oh so eerie. I know how you feel, we had the same late last year and early this year, so much devastation. Our bushfires were before Covid though so goodness knows how difficult it must be for you at the moment.

I can hardly stand it. Just refilled the bird bath and it’s so bad out there. Stay well and safe.

@jgpittenger Done! =)

Looks more like a cloud covered moon. Great shot. Just hoping things will start to turn around soon.

[Milanie]

That's what our setting sun looked like tonight. I can't believe the damage you must be seeing on the west coast. It's just tragic.

[Diana]

Beautiful capture but so horrific re the fires. Hope they can be put out soon.

[Walks @ 7]

Eerie and ominous. Hopefully additional preventative measures are on the horizon.

The fires have been absolutely devastating on so many levels. Here's hoping they will calm down soon...

[KoalaGardens🐨]

please stay safe

[Merrelyn]

It's such an awful situation. The fires are causing so much hardship and devastation without the added impact of covid.

Everyone in the states along the West Coast is experiencing smoke-shrouded skies and the sight of the red sun. Skies were clear and blue in western WA until a couple days ago but now is so gray you can’t distinguish between the gray sky and the water. Distressing to watch the traffic jam of people evacuating their homes in Oregon. Hope you are safe.
