Sky Views

The smoke on my way to the gym
The sun is red...looks evil!
Fairbanks has been smokey lately--so much so that people can't go outside without wearing masks. I am not a fan of the red sun and grey air. 

Forest fires are expected in the summer, but when they get this bad I cant have outdoor adventures and summer is less than desirable. Then, I resort to posting pictures of past skies to remind myself of what blue is like.
This was the sky outside of my dorm last spring.

Here is the sky-draped mountains on my way back to Montana.

Sometimes, clouds reflect over the water. I took this picture at the Delta Clearwater in April.

The sky was actually clear at the start of summer...



Sometimes, the sky is full of migrating birds. I took this picture in Choteau, Montana while watching the snow geese migration at Freezeout Lake.
Here is the sky from a pass in Glacier National Park.

This is the sunrise from Freezeout Lake. It doesn't look too cold, does it?
I hope you enjoyed my pictures. Also, here is the Alaska fire map. I will cross my fingers that the red dots go away soon!
