Christopher E...
hey why isnt this in the “shots in the fog” group? it would be the Perfect home for it :)
Diane Schuster replied
Thanks Christopher for telling me about that group, I wasn’t aware of it’s existance. It always blows me away at how many groups there are on rb. This however isn’t fog, it’s smoke from a controlled burn, so maybe it wouldn’t qualify for that group. I will keep it in mind for the future, though!
