Hazy Yellow Sky

I took this in our yard early afternoon on Monday to capture the strange yellow glow from the smoke drifting here from the wildfires in Montana. We are way over 1,000 miles from Montana. I heard on TV that our air quality was poor, that the smoke is full of fine particles that can penetrate the lungs and cause heart and lung diseases. What a tragedy for the people and animals living closer to the fires.

How odd, is this really the colour of the sky right now. It's easy to understand it can't be good for your lungs.

@ingajohansson Yes, this was the color of the sky yesterday. I didn't use any filters or make color adjustments.

Very pretty shot. It's amazing the sky was that color.

Pretty capture. It is strange that the smoke can travel that far.

[Taffy]

Good use of backlighting!

Such an unusual sky. Beautiful even if it's unhealthy.

[Jennifer]

super tones and angle

[Ann Williams]

The smoke is certainly having a big impact over a large area and must seem very eery Lynn.

[Kas]

Amazing how far that smoke has travelled, and how something so far away can still have such an impact.

A great close up of this beautiful flower and insect.
(I do learn a lot too. Did n`t know this myself. Often I use internet to know more.)

[Lynne Hart]

The smoke is having a real effect on your atmosphere and from so far away. Good shot.

[Lois]

What an impact!

[Cindy McFarland]

That is an odd color. I can't imagine having to breathe that smoke and not be able to get away from it. I feel for them.

[wendy frost]

Well captured I hope the air clears soon for everyone.

[Rachel]

So terrible that the smoke has travelled so far. Wishing it clears soon for you all.

[Milanie]

That's scary that it's traveled that far - sure made a pretty background - if you didn't have to breathe it. May be rethinking my trip to Montana for next summer.

Great composition. Sad story about the amazing colors.

[Rick]

Cool capture.

[Richard Hickey]
