Wildfires Collage
Mamaroneck, NY

Note: These conditions were created by the smoke from wildfires that are raging in Nova Scotia, Canada (the worst in that province's history) some 600 miles away. The center and right most photographs were taken around 2:30 PM 7 June 2023. The photo featuring the sun was taken at 2:46 PM 7 June 2023.

During the peak of the smoky conditions today, the Air Quality Index that ranges on a scale from 0 to 500 with 0-50 being good rose to 484 (Hazardous). As a result schools closed early and evening events were cancelled including the scheduled games for the New York Yankees (MLB) and New York Liberty (WNBA). Masks were also back in fashion.

Images of an 'apocalypse' that are, alas, very evocative... Manifestations of global warming have become commonplace, and already dramatic.
Superb collage, William.

The air was disgusting -- the smell of smoke was noticeable enough that it even burned the throat. One more day and the winds change direction. :)

Cela me rappelle la fumée épaisse et noire rabattue par le vent violent sur Bordeaux après les incendies de milliers d'hectares de pinèdes à La Teste du Buch au début de l'été dernier . Cela a duré pendant plusieurs semaines. Ce furent des incendies criminels!!!! Est-ce le cas au Canada?je compatis et vous souhaite un prompt retour à la normale cher William....

A fine triptych, William, but a very sad subject. This brings memories of our fires only a few years ago.

Beautifully documented William.

Atmospheric images but how frightening it must be. It is hard for me to imagine that at such a great distance fron the source of the wild fires you are still breathing in such toxic air. My thoughts are with you all, and with those people and animals in even closer proximity to the fires.

Well captured and documented William
