Smoky Sunset

[AlanLichty]

Got a few interesting clouds around sunset last night and the wildfire smoke that was too much the night before had eased up enough to be able to see the horizon. I decided to see what the view from above might have to offer and got some unique bands and layers of clouds above the smoke layer. Still more smoke than I would like but it did add some interesting colors to the clouds above.

Lovely colors . . . soothing end of the day.

Thanks Bob - I love the colors like this at sunset but orange air during the day not so much.

That's really great looking Alan! And I agree Orange is preferred at sunset or sunrise and not during the day. Do you still have a lot of smoke in the air or is it thinning out?

Thanks Jim - the smoke is starting to thin out and will blow away entirely by tomorrow evening if the forecasts are correct. I sent my drone up the night before last and the smoke was too thick to even see the sunset so last night was a considerable improvement.
