Sunset photos

From the week of the fires looking out the back to San Francisco...

The day after and for about a week SF could no longer been seen through the smoke and one 48 hour period only the fir trees as the smoke was akin to living inside a chimney...

I keep hearing from my buddies in the Reno/Carson City area and they are sick of the smoke you Californians are sending their way. Unhealthy conditions. Hoping you'll get some rain in the right places soon to help knock down the fires and smoke.

Yesterday was the first in many where the sky was blue for awhile...

It really was a breath of fresh air. Onshore breeze did wonders but it pushes everything inland...

A couple of days not seeing the sun because of smoke makes it very real... the only plus is sunsets

Reminds me of Beijing on a 'clear' winter day. Lots of coal burning.

Probably no sunsets for next few days... warming up with high pressure and increase smoke.

I'm ~ 170 miles east of Reno/Carson. This is tonight's sunset, colored by all that California smoke. They keep promising us this is going to end...and every evening they extend the "unhealthy conditions" warning another day.......

It is so thick that the sun actually disappears from sight into the smoke BEFORE it goes below the horizon.

Gorgeous picture, but really feel for you with all the smoke. uhg.

The onshore breeze is a welcome relief but onshore pushes smoke inland...

Many have no idea of the land mass involved.

This isn’t exactly a sunset picture but it was at dusk. It’s at our lake place.

Yep. Here is a somewhat scary cloud at the farm. It never developed into anything but it looks like it had potential.

This is how the weather should be most of the time.

Ya that one looks like it wanted to do a spin.

Driving through central Nevada one dark and stormy summer afternoon when the sun broke through a crack in the cloud cover and illuminated this mine up on the side of the mountain. Scan of Kodachrome slide shot in 1984. Not very sharp because this was a quick grab shot on ASA 25 film, so slow shutter speed.
