Well at least the smoke isn't Interfering with the canoe festival. People in Oregon are also experiencing fires and hoping the air clears before the solar eclipse on Aug.21.

What a fantastic capture of the details of the boat against that sadly smoky backdrop.

Excellent clarity and details...Today, in Seattle, the smoky haze had decreased from yesterday by approx. 30 to 40%.

Super shot, reminds me of dragon boat racing.

Agree with Julia very much like Maori Wakas

Yes, I thought Waka too, but I have a friend who does dragon boat racing in Auckland, could be the same thing?

[Michelle]

Lovely capture 😊

[Islandgirl]

Awesome canoe!

[PhylM-S]

Way cool! Too bad it's smoke but it does add atmoshpere. A lot of folks are being affected by the fires. I hope you get to enjoy in spite of it.

[Tracie Broadhead]

interesting! the haze adds interest

[ChristineL]

Looks like a great event. Hazy background works well, just a shame it's caused by the smoke from the fires.

[Vera]

I liked the smoket haze! Almost makes a selective color/subject effect.

[Jane Pittenger]

Beautiful boat and colored clothing. I hope the smoke doesn't interfere with the breath needed to paddle hard

[Rachel]

This sounds like an interesting event to watch. I can't believe how smoky it still is. Wonderful boat shot.

[Kathy]

Beautiful shot of these indigenous people. Sounds like it was a fantastic event to attend.

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Milanie]

I love all the colors - think they even stand out more against that haze. Seems that 2 didn't get the message that blue was the color of the day :) Must have been such fun to watch.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

Awesome shot- I actually think the haze makes it look like a misty morning and they're paddling through the fog. It must be fun watching them paddle by.

[Jessika Panteleios]

Wonderful capture! Sounds like an interesting event and that canoe is beautiful.

[Julie Ryan]

Super shot! interesting and coloring, love it.

[Corinne]

must be very cool to see!
