Smoky Moon

Most summers we get a few days of what people sometimes call a Boston Smog -- hazy hot weather that is partly composed of industrial pollution from the neighbouring country to our South.

Sometimes we get smoky haze from big forest fires. For the past couple of weeks we've been getting that from Canada, our neighbour to the West. (Oh, yes: I forget sometimes -- we're part of that country!) And the sun and the moon have been varying shades of orange and red.

This is what I see out the window right now, an hour after sunset.
