Such an eerie sight.
Yes it is. Scary too, everything is so dry, and fires seem to be popping up all over the place.
Stunning captures,Arati! Thank you for joining the everyday moments. 🙂
The wildfires is worrisome…
Thank you for stopping by and commenting. I’m glad you enjoyed the images. I enjoyed the challenge. It got me thinking and realizing how the smoke here has become an everyday moments… at least for now. Praying for early rains.
amazing landscape photos Arati.
Thanks Rupali
devastating…..and we just have the smoke up here…..
Yes all these fires are devastating. All the smoke here comes from fires miles away. Every summer the hills here get dry and baked. They just look a lot more eerie seen with and through the smoke.
Awesome once again. Wondering how the hills will look when green.
Glad you like photos. I’ll photograph the hills in the winter and post. Thanks for stopping by and asking the question.
The dusty atmosphere gives a soft, mystical feel to these photos! Very cool!
Thank you, it seems so weird how smoke from fire that causes such devastation can have that ‘mystical’ feel to it, and yet it does. Like other wordly. Thanks for naming it.
Beautiful golden hills. Hoping they’re spared from the fires.
I hope so too. Thank for stopping by.
Lovely remembrance of every day moments, Arati. Very scenic.
Thank you Olga.
Oh wow, how awful.
Yes, it is quite intense. At times it reminds me of Mexico City in the winter, back in the 70’s, when the volcanoes disappeared behind the haze. I haven’t been back since the late 90’s.
There is no concept of time when the skies are covered in a smoky haze. Looks eerily beautiful.
Yes, it’s like the light doesn’t change much troughout the day. The light does have a unique and eerie beauty. Today the surrounding hills and mountains aren’t even visible and it all feels extremely eerie.
Mesmerising! 🙂
I’m glad you liked these images. Thank you for stopping by.
My pleasure, Arati! 🙂
