Final week, wildfire smoke had been altering sunsets on the Oregon coat, although not a lot in the way in which of a burning scent made it on the market fairly often.

Some second summer season sunsets have been merely spectacular due to the way in which the cloud cowl interacted with the final gentle of day. This shot, taken on the Necanicum Estuary in Seaside by Angi D. Wildt Gallery (situated in Astoria) confirmed simply such colourful pleasantries.
