Description
sunrise behind The Kissing Camels rock formation in Garden of the Gods city park, Colorado Springs, Colorado
about the orange sky and turbid air : Years ago we had a major forest fire in the area, which saturated the air with smoke. The orange sky you see is the result of smoke diffusing sunlight. The white disk you see is not the moon, but the sun. When light is so diffused, you can look directly into the sun for brief periods without damaging your eyes.
"THE SOUL THAT IS WITHIN ME NO MAN CAN DEGRADE." Frederick Douglas ((1818-95) American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman
