I took a picture of the sun tonight from Tulsa, OK, as it was being filtered through a huge smoke cloud... and then stopped off at a scenic turnout and tried to take some pictures of a large grass fire but the wind was blowing the car too much to get a real clear picture with the very long aperture times I was having to use taking the pics at night.
There were a lot of fires belching smoke all over. It was wild - crystal clear in Missouri, but within 4 miles of crossing the Oklahoma border there were fires all over and hazy smoke filled skies.
