[PDX] More Wildfire-Inflected Sunset Pictures, From Inner NE Portland

3149.
Yesterday, when we were busy taking poses of the KATU studios, we did, in fact see the sunset.

I've been calling these Wildfire Sunsets and -Sunrises because the amber, gold, oranges, and reds I've seen in the sky really do seem unique and unusual, and the only cause I can logically single out is the Scroggins Valley Fire and the 36 Pit Fire. In this case, it's Scroggins Valley … these pictures are looking due west down NE Hoyt Street from NE 21st Avenue.


It's hard to resist taking the pictures when the clouds throw their shadows.


Certain similes including the names of some boiling precious metals seem not at all amiss here.
