Where there's smoke, there's Fire - Central Oregon 2014

Central Oregon, 2014.
August... Fire Season.
Normally clear skies were hazy with smoke as we were between two big fires along Highway 26.

The towns of John Day and Prairie City were enveloped with clouds of smoke.
HD

 

Ring of smoke puffs out as the mountain fire starts in the distance.

 

This is smoke from over 50 miles away peering over the mountains.
