Description
As some of might remember or at least read, North West Oregon, specifically, the Eagle Creek area of the Columbia gorge had a massive fire, started by a teen who thought it was funny to set off fireworks in the forest. For many days we, on the western side of the fire were inundated with massive amounts of smoke and ash.
this picture was taken on September 9th at about 5 pm. there has been absolutely no retouching of the photo

The guy wants shooting for the untold misery he's inflicted on innocent people! Never mind three strikes! Shoot the bugger! I bet any money elderly people have died because of poor air quality which is why I say shoot him! He's already probably murdered two innocent people before their time!

A most terrifying vision of this sky overwhelmed and suffocating with smoke....

Damn is all I can say! Stupid knows no bounds! Portugal has suffered several bad fires with some 46 deaths (people fleeing in their cars running into encircling fire). I wonder how much damage to nature this has caused, and people. I wonder what these teens parents are up to education-wise. The atmosphere reminds me of the ash in the air from that Islandic volcano eruption several years ago (WeirdLight - https://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/2010-04-18-weird-light/2046876/?p). This just makes me not want to say "Keep up the good work!" The cost is so dreadful! :-(

Helanker posted a similar sun (hers was more orange though, yours is more pink)---you already commented on it. But hers was caused by Sahara sands, which you're not likely to get in Washington! (If you do, something is way wrong...) This is a beautiful sun, even though it's caused by catastrophic fires. And you got a criss cross of lines, to make this almost a Japanese print. (They loved to work with 2 or 3 elements, and a lot of space.) (Maybe you're part japanese, with all your minimalist designs!) The tree silhouette is a fine contrast, and that lamp actually looks Japanese. A striking capture; and the sun looks like it's rolling along the wire. (Remember those "sing along" shows, years ago? Where a ball would bounce off of words, on the screen? That's what I thought of, for a moment.)
