The fire moon

Taken early in the morning, the moon over the Denver, Colorado area was insanely red. The only time I have ever seen it this color with it this high in the sky is during a lunar eclipse. Sadly, that was not the reason this time. Instead, it was smoke from wildfires burning in Colorado and Wyoming causing the display – and the smell.
