Hazy Morning

No clouds this morning but plenty of haze from the smog and smoke drifting from the west coast. Unable to smell them but sure can see their effects. Interesting how the camera sensor does not record the red/orange sun in the sky the same as the reflection in Dixon Reservoir. Hope you had a good weekend and a great week ahead.

Started reading the book Nomadland by Jessica Bruder and finding it interesting. At times it’s sad, at times disturbing, at other times informative and other times funny.

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    That’s quite the haze there, and it’s amazing that you’re seeing the effects of smoke from so far away.

    My guess is that the water, combined with some diffusion from the trees, darkens the reflection just enough to keep the sun from blowing out. Sounds good, anyway! 🙂

      I saw a satellite map this morning showing the smoke that is drifting across the western part of the states. Amazing! It seems it will be our normal again this year.
