Smoky air creates red glow and unique photo opportunities

The smoke wafting across the border from the many wildfires in the British Columbia interior means more people than average may have breathing problems or have worsened symptoms of existing asthma or lung disease. But, on a more upside, it also brings brilliant red sunrises and sunsets along with hazy skies – all of which make for some unique picture-taking.

Send Discover Ferndale your photos and we will share them here with your neighbors.
