Smoke and sunlight
Taken through the bus window after my fellow passengers woke me up. Having lived in the mountains and seen a lot of fire, I wasn’t impressed with what were initially just huge white billows of smoke. However, as the bus rounded a bend the sun broke through and brought fire to the smoke.
This fire is just north of the San Fransico Peaks outside Flagstaff, AZ
