August 17th - Up In Smoke

No, this isn't a white balance issue...

I stopped on my way home after work to take this.
It's straight from the camera, no alterations.
The skies were an incredible color tonight.
There's a forest fire way up in the mountains to the west.
The smoke has been drifting into our area late in the day as the winds shift.
It's been going on for a couple of weeks, but tonight the skies were the most dramatic...

Here's a link to a NASA satellite photo to show you just how it's happening... and I live in Bakersfield.
