British Columbia Wildfires

Eerie light late yesterday afternoon at Ness Lake. Some super dense smoke came over at about 6pm, and for a time the whole world glowed orange. The light lasted like this for about 45 minutes then when back to the gray smokey haze that we have been accustomed too over this past couple of weeks. It seems we are heading into a repeat of last year and the B.C. government has declared a state of emergency. No end in sight for the wildfire season here in BC with over 560 wildfires burning in the province and nearly 80 evacuation orders and alerts in place affecting more than 21,000 people.

I have made minimal edits to this shot and have not changed the hue or applied any colour cast or filter. Here is hoping for some rain. Shot taken in Northern British Columbia, Canada
