Smokey Sunrise

Remember the sunrise I posted a few days ago? Well, this is how the sun looked this morning due to fires in the gorge. It is a beautiful sight, but when you know the reason, not so much. I wish it showed up as red on 365 as it is on my computer. It was an eerie feel to see it out there like this in the morning.

There have been so many fires this year--seems like more than any other year. That smoke must be so thick.

[Kerri]

Beautiful

[Vicki Dixon]

@yonnie it is thick, but only a hazy sky for us right here...not even a smell of fire...if I did not know that there were fires in the gorge, I would have really wondered why the sun was so red

[Bonnie]

not even your mountain is visible. I didn't realize it was that smoky.

[Vicki Dixon]

@bonniemiles either did we until we woke up to this.

[Carren]

I hope they get it out soon!

[Sweet Calliope]

I hate to think of all the damage that fire is causing!

[👑 AnaZad]

Oh my, the fires can make such changes to the environment. Hope they keep them under control soon.

[Chris Johnson]

Love the red glow of the sun but so sad to think of the damage the fire is causing. Hope everything turns out fine soon.

[mervyn hobbs]

Very nice photo, but most times sad when the fire gets out of hand.

[Ellen Young]

Oh but i do see the tint of red and it is a wonderful capture! sorry about the fires though that does upset me so much...I just cant stand to see burned trees, I hope you are safe and in no way of danger!

[Pam]

It has a beautiful glow. I see the red:)

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Nicely composed, strange how beauty and terrible things go hand in hand sometimes.

[Cathy Donohoue]

It is a gorgeous photo. However, after I read your explanation I can certainly see why for you not so much. Stay safe.

[ladyjane]

Gorgeous, slightly ominous looking shot.

[Michelle]

That is quite a difference. I too wish I could get the colors just right on here. I don't think I'll ever figure it out though.

[Cindy Rez]

Oh My ...I hope those fires don't become wild!

[Anndee]

Awesome shot Vicki!

[Meredith Jones]

Made for a pretty shot. Hope the fires are out soon.

[Princess Fairlane]

Beautiful sunrise shot! love the color of the sun :D

[Lisa Pouncy]

What an amazing contrast between the bright sun and the grey sky. I love the silhouetted layers too xx

[Lisa]

It has been so weird! Great capture of this phenomenon!

[michelle mcintyre]

Bush fires give such a strange glow and a spooky feel!!

[Bill Ososki]

I can relate to what you are saying. Beautifully erie, but when you know the reason, it's worrisome.
