Smoke from California Fires was so bad in Denver that most people had to stay indoors. So much Ash fell here that anything exposed was covered in white dust/ash.

Whoa! All our trees landed on your houses!
Sure sorry about the smoke over there.
Couldn't believe it was that dense after all that distance. But the fires really were consuming everything!
Your images reflect another side of reality.
Angky.

I'm south, approximately 450 miles. We have experienced the same atmospheric conditions for the last 10-12 years. Before Pentax Forums, I critiqued photos on a site dedicated to that specific purpose. I'm reluctant to express my feelings about these images. Please keep in mind that I'm not intentionally attempting to hurt or discourage you.

These are lifeless and tell almost no story. I have wires and an AC unit on top of my house and so do many thousands of other folks. I have plants and a wall in my backyard, like lots of others. I have two tall pine trees in my front yard, too. And I have hundreds of snap shots just like these that I would NEVER consider submitting to any online site and certainly never to a critique thread. The why is obvious-it will bring out a jackass like me to say just about exactly what I said.

I'm not the arbiter of what people may post in this community. I've actually been told as much by the fellow who is in charge! So I'm offering a couple of suggestions to make up for my err. Get in a car, truck or on a bicycle and move to a different location, try a filter, play with the light. Just about anything could make a more interesting story. I look forward to seeing your future submissions.

Thanks for the comment and for looking, It was so bad on one of the weekends that even our cat was having a problem breathing. It was so thick that the house across the street was just a grey foggy apparition!
The dates on the pics are not correct because I didn't have the date set correctly in the K70

gee, should I thank you or despise you? Lol. I was only trying to show the extent of the smoke and the LIFELESS Armageddon that will become our planet because of global warming.

Hard to critique 4 shots at a time. #1 says everything in one shot. Toss #2 and #3. Clone out or crop off the leaf at the top, and bottom left, of #4.

Sorry for our emissions!

Well, I've been despised; not looking to repeat that experience. I'm not a fan of global warming/cooling/change. Knowing the extent/state of real modeling availability and many of the experts in that field gives me an interesting perspective. Very technical.

We live in the zone where wildfires erupt with regularity. I've got photos and videos from several Bosque fires, a string of several years worth of flatland fires along I-25 from El Paso north to Denver, Forest fires in the Manzanos, near Taos, Los Alamos, in several northern NM areas of maybe a dozen of so state roads and a bunch of forest roads. Got a large handful of images out of Arizona too. Makes me biased or jaded in some people's minds. There are many ways and many stories around wildfires, even after they stop burning. I guess I expected that. It's entirely my failing.

Sorry, but you were unable to take a photo.
