This is very nice... See that familiar-looking banyan? Lahaina....

Many have concluded the tree, like most of the town, is gone, forever.
Some (self incuded) put some hope into the fact that it has so many huge roots, under ground and pavement...

And the truth? There is hope, and a guardian-angel arborist, who assesses the damage and is nurturaing from roots to charred branches. Thin-slice: She's hopeful for some buds in a few months, after restoring sap and emerging from shock....

Well, this is a sign of serious...

I just watched a news show saying Quebec's smoke is now creating a health/visibility concern far away, including New York.

So I looked West, camera in hand, and see this! It's been somewhat dark - it's not sunset yet - but I didn't realize how dark!
Worse than the "Sahara dust" a few years back (well, less Pinkish) ... I can't even see New Jersey, or a passing boat, clearly through the haze... This is West bank of Manhattan looking West (North/Canada to the right). Usually the other side is crisp, piers, condos, etc.

And usually this would be blue with the beginnings of a golden or orange sunset. Can't even see any sign of the sun. Thick...

43 thousand hectares are on fire in the Kostanay region of Kazakhstan. The area of natural fires in #Kazakhstan has increased 4 times in a few hours. The situation is getting worse.

This is just irreplaceable!
