[ROman]

@Tobi Great shots.

[tody]

@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.

[GoodtimeJohnny]

@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.

[Giles]

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.

[ARNC]

@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.....

Not today, but this past weekend and yesterday.

Got invited to a little weekend getaway to Kona, HI. I despise traveling during summer unless it’s work related bc I hate the heat and crowds in tourist areas, lol. Had an amazing time nonetheless.

Sunsets on that side are always amazing most likely due to particles in the sky from volcanic activity.

Tuesday there was word that Kilauea was going to erupt 7/15, so made last minute changes to extend the stay and do a little (4ish hour round trip drive) to catch Episode 51 of this active volcano. I find it funny bc I was on a work project an hr away last summer during the most active and explosive eruptions but always missed multiple opportunity (by an hour or so) to see it pop off.

Super happy to finally see Kilauea erupt in the flesh

@RoxRocks86 That last pic is super cool, I would love to see something like that in person!
