Indiana Sunrise
Sep 16, 2020 15:10:13 #
This morning’s sunrise (9-16-20, 7:42 am) over east-central Indiana, showing the upper-atmosphere effects from the wildfires in the West.
It displayed about eight to ten times larger and all red fifteen minutes earlier, just as it broke the horizon, but I couldn’t pull over to shoot it because of the traffic on the two-lane road I was traveling. I have never before seen the sun appear as large as it did when breaking the horizon this morning. The image is a bit fuzzy because I shot it sitting on the berm of the interstate with passing vehicles causing some turbulence. The brownish background is true; there was no blue until the sun rose higher in the sky.
The download is sharper.

Fantastic picture John, I was surprised its from Indiana, I was not aware that much smoke had drifted that far. Then again, yesterday was the first time I had seen even a glimmer of the sun in about a week here in Northwest Oregon. Nice to know its still there.

I noticed the sun yesterday being redder than usual but didn't realize it was from the fires.

We had the same effect on sun rise on Tuesday October 15 here in Northern Virginia...
Remembering same effect from horrific volcanic eruptions...
Respiratory illness must to extremely high close to those massive burns...
This is when you likely need an N95 in real-time 7/24.
Pray for those left homeless... this is a natural disaster of epic proportions...
btw, California already has the worst air quality in the US...
surreal...

Thanks. It cleared up pretty quickly once the early morning haze burned off.
