“Dr. Zarkov! There’s no sun! It’s 8:24 in the morning, and there’s no sun!”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

(a quote from the awesome 1980 movie, Flash Gordon)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s very eerie outside. The news says<\/a> that smoke from wildfires is being held at very high altitudes, obscuring the sun and making the world appear red. Sunrise was at 6:46am but, OMG, it’s 8:24 in the morning and there’s no sun!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

I tried to take a photo of the effect by my camera… well, my camera didn’t believe the sky was the color the way it is. I color corrected these images to be close to correct. But it is, in fact, redder, darker and more apocalyptic.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Yes, I took these photos at 8:24 this morning.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
