Fire in the sky
London has the most consistently polluted air in the country, if not the entire continent. This is by virtue of our location downwind from a whole lot of nasty industry, as well as the geographic quirks of our land that conspire to trap the same dirty air in a never-ending soup of smog from spring to autumn - and beyond.

Red skies at night !!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like there's a firestorm headed your way!
Jeremy
The Oakland Hills firestorm of 1991. Sorry, that was my first thought. jk
ReplyDeleteYep, forest fire. Here in BC it was quite a common site last year. Scary, like trouble on the horizon.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely Gorgeous! If only you could breath in the fresh Autum air....
ReplyDeleteLuAnn the class clown is spreading joy once again…so I felt the need to share the love tag – you are now it!
wow... it really does look like there's a forest fire!
ReplyDeleteFiery and beautiful! I have a picture of a gorgeous sunset. This pic reminded me of it. I will post it on my blog for you.
ReplyDeleteIt makes me think of fire, too. Oh it is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhere are all the Hot Firemen?
ReplyDeleteKinda makes me wonder if this is not only beauty in nature, but mother nature's way of saying that she is burning mad at us for all the stuff we send into the air.
Hmmm food for thought.
"Think we'll ever get rain?"
ReplyDeleteActually? Made me think of the gemstone known as "Tiger Eye". Beautiful marbled golds and browns and oranges. I remember seeing similar sunsets growing up in *koff koff!* Los Angeles.
ReplyDeleteThe day after they drop the bomb.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, Carmi I believe that West Virginia has an equal amount of pollution if not more than London. We have the highest cancer and asthma rates in the whole country and its gotta be caused by something.
ReplyDeleteOoh... that's really nice.
ReplyDeletelooks like pictures i've seen of an australian brushfire!
ReplyDeleteIt made me think of a particular brush that I use in Photoshop. The clouds almost look like handwriting in the sky.
ReplyDeleteYup, I was with the forest fire people.
ReplyDeleteHere in Southern California we get the same effect. Natural basin and all that stuff. The most beautiful are when we have raging forest fires. Polluted air equalling great sunsets, that makes me a little depressed.
