This afternoon, I headed over to the Highline Canal, close to the Kent Denver School. Having spent most of the day indoors, I had not noticed the smoky skies from the California wildfires. While walking around the lake below the canal, one could see the haze surrounding the mountains.

Walking around the lake, I made some images with ICM (intentional camera movement). This included some horizontal and vertical blurs. The following image was a vertical blur of the reflections of the trees on the far shore of the lake.

As I completed the circular walk around the lake, the sun sank down in the sky. From the Highline Canal trail, I made this image of the sun setting behind the clouds. The smoky sky intensified the red colors of the sunset.

Pan to the left, the sun was excluded from the following image. This shows the pink, orange and purple colors of the sunset.

Moving around, I found a pine tree that would make a candidate for a silhouette.
