Ashby 0 Report post Posted July 10, 2008 I was in the kitchen tonight with the wife talking about the day and how smoky it has been from the fires. As I glanced passed her I caught a glimps of the sun. I ran and got my camera and took a few pictures. These are all from on base, no color correction, no work on the photo other than converting from raw. The sun was beautiful, but the air was and still is deadly. The Commander even issued a statement to everyone "if you are not doing mission essential work, you need to get in a building now until released. The smoke here is so bad that at times you can not see 100 yards. The closest fire to us is about 40 miles away, and the smoke is still deadly. Anyway, hope you guys like the pictures.

Ashby 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 Glad you guys like the pics, though not ideal for living in, I'll make the best of it. They are saying that breathing this air right now is worse than smoking over a pack of smokes a day, and it damages immediately. Hey Matt, thanks for bringing that up. I forgot to mention that in the post. I did add some contrast in to make the trees stand out a little. They were pretty smoke filled, so I figured the needed a little help. Thanks again guys.
