1. I was going to say, what a great sunset, until I realized it was distorted by smoke?

I hope all is well there

[Kali]

3. Im not sure what it is

could it be the Sahara dust? been hazy all day but I don't smell smoke and I can't find any news of nearby fires

5. Great sunset photo.

2. I took a sunset photo much like that eery peek through the smoke & haze in Fort Collins, CO two days

ago... But,, we have Cameron Pass fire 50 miles to the west, and the enormous western slope fires, Pine Gulch and Grizzley Creek all blowing right towards us.

I may have to pull out the HEPA filtration unit that got me through the horrendous 2012 summer of wildfires blowing directly into Denver

I sure hate to see it. I hope your AZ fires are and remain quite distant from you.

4. maybe it is Sahara dust

I can't find any news of fires nearby and don't smell smoke. been hazy all day

A wildfire is burning southwest through the Tortolita Mountains parallel to Cochie Canyon Trail Road near the Dove Mountain area. The 2,200-acre Westridge Fire ignited on Monday, Aug. 17 and has since spread along the mountainous ridges through the desert brush.

7. I found some kind of incident report for that yesterday

it was named but there was no acreage listed and it looked small. 2200 could be filling the San Pedro Valley with some smoke,

8. Could be from CA fires.

Seeing the same thing here in the PHX metro for several days.
