2013 August 22, 6 PM: Smoke from California’s Sierra Nevada “Rim Fire” near Yosemite has drifted northwest to Highway108 and Sonora Pass. The thick amber-colored haze dims and tints the sun a luminous strawberry color. Coincidentally, the village of Strawberry is a few hundred yards from where this photo was taken, about 100 miles from the fire.
