Flying back from a business trip to the Bay Area had us passing by Yosemite and a view
of the Rim Fire that is currently ravaging the Stanislaus Forest on the western edge of the park.
The "clouds" on the left side of the image are actually from the smoke plumes from the fire.
I had a very dirty window and this is the best I could do to clean up the image.

Below is a time-lapse video shot by Park staff that shows various stages of the fire over the past week.
