Local Smoke, Okanagan Lake

Hot summers in the Okanagan Valley. Smoke from a local fire in the Bellevue Creek area hangs inverted over the lake, providing a filter for the sunset; this view taken from the back porch in Penticton. Smoke has been part of the everyone's lives in the Okanagan this summer with the wind pushing smoke from fires burning in Washinton State northward up the valley across the border.
