 It's a smokey summer in Montana this year. Forest fires everywhere. I took this shot while I was driving to a job interview. This wasn't even the day this week with the most smoke in the air.

Now what is this doing way down here? Perhaps people not from the Western US just don't appreciate how loudly this screams summer.

Neat shot. Almost looks more biblical than summer. Might want to try croppping down past that "lens flare" light spot at the top though and seeing how you like it.

Interesting commentary on the wildfires we see in the West. A different side of summer that not everyone sees.
