Skywatch Friday #58 - Camano Sunset

A few weeks back, smoke from fires in British Columbia, Canada gave us some spectacular sunsets down in the Puget Sound area of Washington. This night was no exception. All I did was crop the pictures down to take out the power lines across the top.

You get the prize for the most brilliant orange this week. On that note, or your picture, I shall retire for the evening!

I spent 6 weeks this Summer on San Juan Island (that's where my Sky Watch photo was taken). These are gorgeous sunsets, I would have loved to have been there to photograph them, but I am not sad that we've missed the burning and destruction.
