This Must Be What Living Next to Vesuvius Looks Like

This is a view of the smoke plume from the Aspen fire in the Catalina Mountains North of Tucson. It's taken from the Northwest suburb of Oro Valley, not too far from where I live.

The smoke today isn't as bad as this, but that's because the worst of the fire has descended down the back slope of the range. Ugly.

The story is here.

I guess I won't be going up to Summerhaven for a while.
