Burning Sun

These shots are directly at the sun which usually is not advisable for a cameras sensor but I think its was worth the risk which for a few shots is pretty minor. This is what the sun looks like behind the haze of forest fire smoke, from 2016 and if I think of how many summers there have been since then with periods of smoke filled skies its likely been this way each year at some point.
