Harvest time in Alberta. The wheat is not very high this year due to very dry conditions.

The smoke from distant forest fires was so thick we could barely see across the lake.

The sun is setting through the smoke and the clouds to give this effect. Sight and Sound: Pictures and Music "Red Rubber Ball" The Cyrcles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EbDKN0dk54M It was written by Paul Simon. Here it is recorded by Simon and Garfunkle. 30. Red Rubber Ball - Simon & Garfunkel

This was an accident when I fired while still out of focus but I got an interesting effect with the corona that appears around the sun through the forest fire smoke.
