Red Sun (Fairbanks, AK, USA, 2023-07-27)

I read yesterday in the News-Miner that 30 new forest-fires had started recently in Alaska, due to lightning. This morning, there was enough haze that I was able to look directly at the sun without any pain or discomfort. So, I took a few photos on the way to work.

These were taken with the S5300 with no filters or post-processing. I think the camera was in portrait mode. The photos don't capture it quite as beautifully as I remember with my own two eyes, but they turned out fairly well anyway.
