That's beautiful Brian!
There's been some amazing sunsets with the imported smoke in the Puget Sound area.
Unfortunately, I don't drag my DSLR around everywhere. And nobodies cell phone camera was doing it justice the couple of times we could see it.
(It's hard to see much where the kids live due to the Forrest Gump.)
But I got some on the way home.

Well, yes and no.
Imagine the fires way back when there wasn't so many humans to Bitch about it?
When Nature could run it's course and clean all the old growth out so new growth could start.
Down here in the Golden State.... all the spring grasses turn yellow and dry, usually by June.
Lots of starter tinder for wildfires.

Studies of prehistoric fires in Canada show grass fires used to run for hundreds of miles if there was a stiff wind, which there normally is across the prairies. Must have been pretty scary for the natives!? It would scared the crap out of me.

And that's where the idea to use manure to promote growth came from.

The only thing to do was to move away from the fire. Or find a shelter till it passed.
It must have worked out OK. We're still here, and still having fires.
Down here in Southern California they have the Santa Ana Winds. The natives called them the Devil Winds. They usually brought very fast moving brush fires with them, with gusts reaching 70 MPH typically.
And of course, the fires can generate their own winds from the thermal rises from them.
All this stuff beyond Amoeba Man's capabilities or understanding is fascinating to watch.
But... I'm only visiting this Planet.
