Hazy Sunset from Whidbey Island


We have had a high pressure system over the Pacific Northwest, unusual for this time of the year.  The still air, combined with the smoke from eastern Washington fires, makes for a colorful sunset.  When I arrived at Joseph Whidbey State Park, the sea was still.


It was almost impossible to catch the unusual colors as the sun sank through the hazy sky.


There were many wandering the beach, hardly able to take their eyes off the sunset.


The image of the sun was distorted as it neared the horizon.

A very unusual sunset for Whidbey Island.
