I *do* like this very much. It not only tells a story, but in its own way, is just beautiful as well.

To answer a few questions: The smoke was so dense that it obscured the sun completely on many days. That particular morning the smoke was dense enough that you could look at the sun without hurting your eyes. For fun, I turned my camera at the sun, and saw the sun spots. I shot a series of images, and then downloaded them to the computer. I found that the sun was still too bright on my photos compared to the background, so I processed each raw file twice in Adobe PS. By underexposing one image I got the sun to look as it did when I shot the photo. Then I took the same file, and processed it for the background, so I raised the exposure to make the background look as it did to my eyes. I then merged the two versions of the same image, and the result is what you see. The sun looks pretty much like it did when I took the photo, and the background is correct too.

the image is excellent; the spherical shape of the sun is truly in touch with viewer; the info in the about is very sad one, may be not for us but for future people

Superb shot, Steve. It is neat when one can look directly at the Sun. It is just unfortunate that you were able to because of forest fires, though. On June 8, 2004, we were fortunate to be able to look directly for a short while during the Venus transit. A friend from our astronomy group, Shane Finnigan got a great picture of the transit. Yours reminded me of his at

I love your very excellent picture. The smokey atmosphere is so well catpured and presented. Into my favourites it goes.
