Haze over Colorado from California Fires

The haze from the California fires made the sky a weird white color instead of blue, made the sun look bright orange and made my eyes sting and burn. It also made the mountains just seem to disappear with very little visibility. Greeley really stunk too with the haze keeping all the “cow smell” right over us.  I am glad it has mostly cleared up here in Colorado and I can actually see and breathe again, but it was pretty bad there for a while. I am surprised by how far the smoke traveled! Here are a few pictures of the hazy sky and bright sun.
