Smoked Sky

Elevated smoke from wildfires in Alberta, Canada on Saturday, May 7, 2016 stretched some 1,300 miles to the southeast, diffusing sunsets over eastern Iowa. The above image looks west from Interstate 380 just south of the Center Point, Iowa exit at 7:24 pm CDT. Below is a closeup of the sun about 20 minutes later as seen from Bowman Woods Park in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

The amount of smoke was potent enough in Iowa to cause breathing aggravations to people. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
