Very dramatic, Joyce~~the bad and the beautiful...!!! An exceptional photograph, but certainly not what you want blocking out your mountain view! We've had many fires here in Canada, as well, and one right on the mountain above our property~ a lightening strike, too-- fortunately they got it under control before long! Another not too far south of here in Peachland in the last few days- hundreds evacuated! Sure hope your air quality clears up soon, the fires get contained and stay away from your property!!! F&V!

Joyce Dickens replied:

Will thank you my friend for the visit and lovely comment......today the air quality is much better, though most of the fires are not out, just under control....so when the wind shifts, we get smoke...today the sky is blue and gorgeous...thank you for the positive thoughts....jd

Beautiful and scary at the same time, Joyce! I was born and raised in Chico and have seen this before. Once when I was much younger I saw one of these clouds form over a fire where there was no wind to move the cloud away from the fire. The resulting rain (a bit more moisture in the air) helped put the fire out. A rare event indeed, and 'way before my passion of photography took control. You have captured a rare and fantastic event! Kinda happy it wasn't Mount Lassen erupting :) Really nice job!! F/V

Joyce Dickens replied:

Mick, thank you so much for the visit and lovely compliment....it is rare since we have fires up here every year, but this is the first time I have actually witnessed this type of cloud. I miss my view of Mt. Lassen but know it will be back soon.....take care! jd

oh wow, Joyce ... this is such a beautiful scene ... until I read your description ... and now of course, the beauty remains, but with a hidden and ominous note. I hope by today, the 30th, that the fires have simmered down in your area and that your skies are beautiful and blue and the air fresh again. f/v

Joyce Dickens replied:

Hi Lois my sweet friend....missed you! We still have a lot of smoke in the area, depending on the wind direction, but since the fires are under control it is much better, they are still burning but most of the damage has been done and they are finally contained.....so happy to see you and your lovely comment! jd

It makes a great shot, but it's a cloud you would rather not see!

Joyce Dickens replied:

Exactly, Lynda; I would much rather have my view of Mount Lassen back....thank you so much for the visit and compliment! jd

You have a beautiful view out your window,you must have been terrified you'd lose such beauty to flames...

Joyce Dickens replied:

Thank you Sharon, yes I would much rather have the view of Mount Lassen.....the fires are finally getting some amount of containment but still burning (about six are still doing some serious damage)....

Beautiful photograph Joyce! Those wildfires are scary. Thanks for the description. V/F

Joyce Dickens replied:

Thank you Bob, they are indeed, at one point last week we had 15 wildfires in the north state burning at the same time....very poor air quality and a lot of tension.....
