The result of a brush fire from nearby Wai‘awa, last Saturday. There has been a series of fires in the Wai‘awa area, a few miles northeast of where we live. It has been a pain, since the fires have come close to the Interstate H2, and homes in the Waipio area. The last few fires had caused closure of the H2 when flames got a few yards from the freeway.
On this particular fire, the wind blew the smoke plume around our subdivision, but could see the effects of the smoke against the sunlight. The smoke actually caused the color temperature of the sunlight to turn yellowish-orange. The H2 north-bound lanes were closed for several hours, and caused a major traffic on the west-bound H1 lanes. The H2 branches off at Waipio where the fire was.

Wow, this photo is fantastic! (I hope the fires are under control now and haven't caused too much damage.)
Enjoy your weekend!
