Forest Fire Smoke Over the Forest

Canada, BC, Clinton, Green Lake. During late June of 2021, BC was experiencing a "heat dome", producing the highest temperatures ever recorded, across the province. Forest fires burned everywhere. This image was captured while visiting a friend's cabin on Green Lake during that time. The sun was being obscured by dense smoke from a nearby fire.
