A good while ago, I posted photos of smoky skies around Kawaihae, which were the result of a large brush fire up the hill from there. I intended to follow up with more photos and then forgot, which is nothing unusual.
Here are a few more photos from that time, taken from Spencer Beach Park. The smoke in the air resulted in golden light on the waters, which is the one and only time I’ve seen that in my 10 years here.

They are wonderfully golden indeed. It is a pity that the fires and smoke do create fabulous colours

It was beautiful, but I’d happily pass that up to escape the damage done by the fires

Is that a rainbow below the smoke cloud?

No rainbow. I think it’s just the odd colors at the edge of the clouds.

oh wow, occasionally there is very definitely an upside to wildfires.

True, but we’re probably better off without them, at least when they run out of control.

Thanks, Jo. It was quite beautiful, if for the wrong reasons!
