Birch Bay Sunset

Last evening I drove down to the water in hopes of catching a colorful sunset. Birch Bay in the evening is an amazing place. People come out to enjoy the sunset, the water, live music and fires on the beach. There were several fires on the beach, I could hear music behind me while I was taking photos and there were people everywhere. The place really comes alive. I really enjoyed watching the paddleboarders gliding effortlessly across the water. This makes me want to get out my board and try it out. Hopefully, later in the week.

The sunset didn’t disappoint. It was very colorful. But I have to wonder if some or most of the color came from a nearby fire or maybe smog from Vancouver, Canada, to the north. It just appeared to me that there were horizontal bands of something in the air. I didn’t smell any smoke except for an occasional bit of smoke from the beach campfires, which leads me to believe what I was seeing is air pollution from nearby Vancouver. Or maybe I’m over thinking it. That’s a possibility.
