Picture of the Day - Sobranes Smoke From HR

This evening I was out at Heritage Ranch cutting down an olive tree for a friend/client. The wind shift about 30 hours ago back to a northwest flow has brought smoke back to the Central Coast in a big way. However, the source of the smoke, which is the Soberanes Fire in Monterey County, is now notably larger than when last the wind brought the smoke directly here and thus now it is much smokier. In fact, it was essentially overcast with smoke when I left this place about an hour after this image was captured. Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
