Smokey Sunset

Gamboge and Chartreuse Yellow

We've got a fire in a nearby mountain. The smoke is quickly filling the sky and the sun is setting and the combination makes for a beautiful and dramatic sky.

I'll be posting more photos from this shoot.

Update: Monday - The fire is out today.

Wow. A 'terrible beauty.' Hope it stays over on that other mountain! But yes, it does make for a spectacular photo.
