This is an interesting perspective. And it gives a lot of food for thought. Perhaps indeed a local climate journal? Particularly with climate change happening, this could be a very necessary reference at some point.

Ash Over a Nation

I was in Wisconsin at the end of this summer (2018), spending time with family-friends and carrying around my camera, as usual. When I arrived it was uncustomarily cold for that time of year, high 50’s and low 60’s. Normally, the average temperature in Wisconsin in August is about 78℉.

My friends live on Lake Winnebago. As we spent some time sitting in their screen porch I watched a hazy overcast steadily stream across the sky and over the lake. You could tell the sun was trying to shine through, (trying to burn up what I thought was precipitation) but the steady cloud stream remained.

Later on, I overheard locals explaining that the foggy atmosphere and low temperatures were unusual. I asked my friend and her family about it, which they then agreed that it was strange and, they assumed, coming from the fires out West.

As an eco-conscious person, this was alarming to hear. As a photographer and storyteller, I was intrigued, especially by the unique, diffused light that was created by the sun struggling to stream through the ash particles. I was compelled to document the semi-apocalyptic looking atmosphere which in turn made me want to educate myself on what was happening to the earth and how it would be affected by these large-scale fires.

Instead of forcing my own opinions on you, I wanted to share the articles that I found most helpful in obtaining some of these answers.

How does the ash drift so far across the nation? | A New York Times article explains this process well. They use a NASA map and video to articulate the density and distance some of the smoke particles traveled. They also explain that the heat from the fires was so hot in recent years the particles were pushed so high that they would get caught in wind patterns that then travel great distances across the nation. Read more about this here.

What caused the fires? | Mainly the rapid pace of climate change, the housing sprawl, and fire agencies struggling to coordinate holistic fire and land management. Check out more here.

Many fires were caused by humans. The Carr Fire last summer was even caused by a flat tire. Read the article here.

What can humans do to help avoid unhealthy wildfires? | Nat Geo has an awesome article about fire safety tips, how to avoid wildfires, and how they’re extremely preventable because they typically occur due to human error. *sigh* To read more click here.

Below are the photos I took to document the hazy atmosphere, the glowing light being diffused throughout the smoke particles and the interesting way the colors appeared in the diffused light.

I hope you enjoy the view -
