Smokey skies make for some beautiful sunsets due to light reflecting off the tiny particles in the air.  Enjoy at least this aspect of these horrible fires. 0

@Kachina624  This actually looks good, most of the time we can't see the mountains. It all depends if the winds is blowing.

@Leggett28    You took a very nice photo which gives us an idea about the geography and flora in your area.

You've captured a lovely moment @Leggett28 

 

I know how y'all are suffering with the smoke from the horrible fires, my brother and his family live in Sparks too.

From my house, the view is (or would be) Mt Rose.  Haven't seen the mountains over here in days.   

 

It's weird how some times it clears up a bit and then, by early afternoon, it looks like the apocalypse again.

 

Every time I open a door the smoke comes inside the house now.

WOW I remember those days. Yrs ago when we had the fire in Truckee the smoke sat in Reno for a couple of weeks.
We couldn't go outside because we'd choke on the smoke, I would have panic attacks because I couldn't breathe.
Beautiful picture ☺️
We're clear here in California kinda weird, it's the winds fault!
