Yellow Skies

I decided, at the last minute, to take a trip over to the other side of Toronto to stay with my son and his family for a few days. While I was there we were hit with the smoke from the forest fires burning to the north west of us. The air smelled like camp fire and the whole area had a strange yellowish glow. This picture is not very exciting but illustrates the odd colour of the air and the skies. It is pretty much SOOC except for straightening.

Stay inside as much as possible!

So bizarre looking… it must be hard to breathe.

The air quality is terrible even where we live.

[LManning (Laura)]

Yep, we had the same. It's like living in the movie Dune.

[Peter Dulis]

We had the same thing- luckily its better today

[Heather]

Well-done to capture this eerie colour, Joanne! It's been pretty awful, hasn't it? I came home yesterday (Thursday) from taking a photo outside and my hair reeked of smoke!

[Chris Cook]

So awful. The fires seem to be worse every year.

[Margaret Brown]

How awful, so strange and not at-all healthy but makes for an interesting photo.

[Brooke Lindsay]

We even have a degree of this in New York City!

[Rick Schies]

It’s horrible up there. I hope you can soon get relief

I feel so bad for the people living near the fires and especially for those who have lost their homes.

[Shutterbug]

Hope your air improves soon.
