Curtain of Smoke, Katie LaSalle-Lowery

“Curtain of Smoke” taken by Katie LaSalle-Lowery. This was snapped at Pelican Creek, just east of the Fishing Bridge in Yellowstone National Park just as the Arnica Fire was growing. As LaSalle-Lowery writes, “The smoke was streaking eastward across the sky in a distinct plume rather than dispersing and making a fog of smoke. The plume filtered the sunlight, casting a warm color tone on everything yet blue sky could be seen around the plume.”
