Most people would say there are few things about wildfires that make life better, at least in the short term, but sunsets is one of them. This photo of smoke from the Lime Gulch Fire at sunset was sent in by one of our readers. It was taken by Vicki Barrett of Pau Hanna Studios and is used with permission.
The photo below was taken by Dave Treskin at a spike camp on the Red Rock Fire in the Marble Mountain Wilderness in 2009.
