Per Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the orange skies today are a result of wildfire smoke in the air. Strong winds over the past few days transported ...ash from fires in northern California and the Sierra Nevada into the region. These smoke particles scatter blue light and only allow yellow-orange-red light to reach the surface, causing skies to look yellow or orange. Although the skies show a yellow or orange hue, you may not smell smoke when you step outside, and air quality may remain at 'moderate' levels. This is because the smoke is staying above the marine layer, and the smoke is not able to mix down, protecting us from poor air quality. See more

John Harvey here. I have seen a lot of people wonder what Big Basin will look like in the future and how it will change. I have seen websites and people calling... it a total loss. It is not. I wanted to share these photos of the aftermath of the Canoe Creek Fire in Humboldt Redwoods. This fire took place in 2006 and at the time was the largest fire in the og coast redwoods in modern history. It scorched crowns and blackened trunks as well. 14 years later and the place looks spectacular. Yes large trees fell over many months as winter winds brought down what the fires started. The thing I love about this grove is the openness. The ground makes you want to lay down and fall asleep like a baby. It is so clear of debris and so soft...just little clovers and grasses, burnt and hollow trunks, and little sunrays that make it down to the ground. Open and bright and green. That's the future...
