Prince Rupert

cool, what's the plan there? @Tobi

[Tobi]

@endo short stopover on the family roadtrip. We spend some days on Vancouver Island, then a 15h ferry cruise up the inland passage. Amazing scenery and some added whales for good measure. We are now en route on the Yellowhead Highway to the Rockies..

[endo]

very nice

[ROman]

@Tobi Great shots.

@Tobi Inside Passage is surely fantastic. Getting up at 4:30 was not

[Denman John]

@Tobi I hope Vancouver Island treated you well.

[Tobi]

@tody was fantastic! We had some rain and low clouds .. but not unexpected now chilling out in a cabin in the Robson Valley

[Tobi]

@Denman-John loved it! We had too little time though.. I underestimated the size and distances :).. so in the end we had only one full day in Tofino, and 2 days of driving ..

@Tobi absolutely stunning pictures and glad to hear that you’re enjoying it!

In Ontario, Quebec, and upper North East of the US, we are experiencing heavy smoke from wildfires which has turned the sky an awful yellowish colour:

It’s hard to capture and the smell is pretty bad as well.

@goosehd It's all the way down here in Connecticut too, everything is yellow tinted

[Matt]

There’s a pistachio tide in the harbor due to the heat here. So instead of just really hot it’s really hot and smells like rotten eggs.

I had a rotten Pine Nut last night, I can still taste the fucker. And that's after swilling my mouth out with various libations.....

@goosehd Terrifying

[Jord]

I hope it's not too close to you @goosehd I've seen a friend online post pictures of the atmosphere all discoloured, very scary stuff

[goosehd]

@Jord Thankfully it isn't...

It looks like the closest fire to me is about 700 km's away and the majority of them are 1000 km's away. Right now it looks like it's about 30 minutes before the sun sets outside.

@goosehd I saw this a minute or two before you shared it. Good to hear that it’s a fair distance away from you.

[ARNC]

@Giles if this is what I think it is, it could last for a couple of weeks. Everything will taste wrong until one day it doesn’t. Lemon or ginger might give you some temporary relief.

[Giles]

Thank you. I'm going to try beer tonight.....
