Northeast Smoke Haze #SkywatchFriday

I decided to take some pictures of the smoke haze we've had for the last four or five days.

Monday, I was in a hilly area and decided to take advantage of being up on a hill.  It wasn't even humid.  This haze is all smoke. 

Fortunately, neither my spouse nor I have lung issues. 

I fear this is our new normal, as the saying goes. 

The air was only (only!) "unhealthy" for susceptible groups. 

By Thursday, it was starting to clear just a little, up on that same hill.

Today, the air is supposed to be better, just in time for it to get hot again.  

 Joining Yogi and other skywatchers for #SkywatchFriday.

  5. Smoke causes a wonderful haze for us to shoot. Glad you got out and captured these moments and showed us what it looks like in your area.

  6. We had the same haze here in Montreal and the bad air quality and smell of smoke due to the wildfires 🔥

  7. Yeah, there's something icky about the smoky air. Glad to hear it's clearing up. Not looking forward to our days with similar (although, I know they're coming).

  10. The haze is here in southern Ontario too. Makes it a little hard to breathe, especially when the humidity ramps up. Lovely photos, though! ☺

  11. Not as bad as you've had it in the past, so that's good. Just unhealthy! So far we've been smoke-free, but Sept. can be bad. Hope yours gets better.
