Western Fires II

Hopefully a better picture than yesterday. This was taken just West of Guernsey, WY. Speaking of Guernsey, I'm glad I go through there at about 6:20 am. Here we are nearly into September and the North Platte is running full. Guess Glendo Reservoir has filled.

Today at about 9:30 am there wasn't a cloud in the sky. In Wyoming and Western Nebraska that means 100 mile visibility. Not so with the smoke. Scottsbluff.

Western Fires

Lots of smoke drifting into Wyoming, Nebraska and Colorado. This was taken early this morning North of Wheatland, WY on Hwy 26 just East of Interstate 25. Not my best effort. My excuse, a small handheld point and shoot at extreme zoom and a low light situation. Yes, I know, it is a poor workman that blames his tools. Didn't quite capture the Sun's Japanese Flag Red that I saw with my eyes.
