This is not the easiest scene to photograph but it’s much easier than trying to fight a forest fire. The sun has been an eerie red color for the past few evenings due to the smoke generated by the Cameron Peak Fire. I have stopped in my tracks several times to just look at the bright red color of the sun. As of last night the fire had grown to over 12,000 acres and has crossed over Highway 14. Today’s temperature is going to be above 90 again but winds are to be calm, which adds to the heat. The smoke has been strong, causing my eyes to burn, and the smoke on my clothes remind me of campfire days as a young man. This is not the best image to start the week with but it is what it is. Have a great day!
