RE: Photos from Smokey WA State

in #fires7 years ago

It's just nasty and otherworldly; yesterday I walked to work and there was just the faintest outline of the sun in the sky... at around noon. Didn't see it again. Took out the trash to the garage at 11:00 last night and the moon was-- very briefly-- a ghostly red shadow.

I stood there, for a bit... the stillness was disturbing; not the faintest hint of breeze; we're by the water but the sea is as smooth as a sheet of glass, not a sound of night birds; even our local flock of coyotes not making themselves heard.

I am not sure what it is... maybe ancient instincts we didn't consciously know we have? It feels... apocalyptic out there. It's eerily damp/cold, there's no horizon... but unlike fog (which is common here) it's dirty, not clean grey/white. Meanwhile, tiny white particulate hangs in the air and I've had that "I'm about to get a headache" feeling for about 72 hours now...

You are so right about it feeling apocalyptic and just unsettling.

I'm having some "mood" issues. I realized today, that I am feeling stressed even though I can't rationalize it.

They say there is some hope for clearing over the weekend. I sure hope so.
