Look at that surreal sunset (aka, BC is on fire)

For those of you who have not been paying attention to the myriad of news reports, there are currently over 400 forest fires raging around beautiful British Columbia.

Much like the forest fire that was burning north of Pemberton last year, the smoke from these forest fires - specifically, the fire at Williams Lake - have been blowing south and creating a perma-haze that has made for mindblowing sunsets.

Although my camera can't capture the true essence of how intense these sunsets have been, here's a few shots of this evening's sunset, made blood-red by the haze:




Pretty wild, huh? The sunsets have been like this for the last couple of evenings.

Here is the song that was going through my head as I was snapping these surreal photos...
