Fire storm

The clouds from the fire near by where I live with the sun peeking through. Some people envy the CA sunshine, and I will admit I love it in the winter, but I love all the rain, and storms in the different parts of the US. The driving sun opens the "Fire Season" here and I just do not like the opressive heat!
I used a 10stop density filter for this shot.

Lovely shot, Ruth! Beautiful layers of color! It gets just as hot here in South Carolina and the humidity just makes it miserable! I know how you feel! I hear northern california is cooler.

Nice... That's a lot of smoke to filter the sun like that.

It's a beautiful shot....yes, I hate the heat too and we're having a case of bad haze, blown over from a neighboring country (Sumatra).

[Maggiemae]

Oh, that brown cloud that I so distrust! Hope it doesn't get any worse, great PO!

Great! Love this shot!

[Lisa]

Absolutely awesome shot but I feel not too good about the cloud coming from a fire. I hope the fires won't get anywhere near you!

@marlboromaam Yes it is, and the coast is cooler. I live inland and going more toward the high desert area. Lovely in winter, hot as H in summer! @danacarruthers @traeumerlein87 @ruthspin @vorka @myautofocuslife @myautofocuslife @maggiemae @tooki @brianl @cheribug @ladyjane @myhrhelper @rhos Update, we still had fires nearby, but not as much smoke thank goodness, thanks for your lovely comments!
