We'bve been getting a lot of smoke from the fires in AZ; the wind is blowing it straight towards us. Monday night the moon was bright red. Here's a typical sunset over the Jemez Mountains from Tuesday night.
Simple, and beautiful! I especially like the first one, which shows more of what's going on. Here's a photo I took in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado on Saturday - the mountains were so full of smoke that day that you couldn't even see past one mountain ridge. The smoke lingered around for a couple more days (not so bad) and finally cleared out on Tuesday. Is it still bad in Santa Fe?

Today broke clear and smoke free in Los Alamos! Man, it was getting hard to breath. It appears to be going south and I would guess that ABQ is still inundated.
I'm hoping the hurricane off the west coast of Mexico pumps moisture up through AZ/NM to put out those fires!!!
This is the first time I've been happy to have "severe clear" weather conditions. This is our first day with with a blue sky here in Taos, and I'm loving it!

4 repliesI noticed a little posterization around the sun in these small versions - it's not there in the full size images in Lightroom.
