Crater Lake Haze
More than your standard amount of summer haze at Crater Lake...but the sun cutting through the smoke made for some wierd light. I especially like the tuft of smoke rolling down the rim on the far side.
At times, the smoke was so think, I coughed. The flames were off to the left side about 400 yards on the other side of the road.

Great shot. It almost looks like a rust rainstorm. I mean that in a good way!

OH! Yuck! er, ah, I mean, it's a great shot of full-on Yuck, Rick. On Thursday I couldn't even see Mt Hood from Hood River the smoke was so bad.

Rick,
Probably not many shots of Crater Lake like this. Looks like you were in the right place at the right time.
