No, this isn't a photo taken through an unbearable humidity in Madras, India. It was taken about a mile from my house in Madras, OR. Although beautiful, the coloring is the result of the smoke from several huge wildfires hundreds of miles apart that drifted into our area.

Of course the very thought of the devastation of wildfires is something we all dread and the devastation can be catastrophic...but sometimes even in the midst of tragedy beautiful things can emerge that arrest our thoughts and our attention to take some of the edge off, and this is a most wonderful post of color and poignancy. Thanks for this bittersweet post.. :)PJ

I imagine this makes the air difficult to breathe. Interesting shot.

That is indeed awesome and quite a different effect. Too bad it takes a forest fire to bring it about. Nice capture.
