Where there is smoke, there is fire?

I woke up Monday to what i thought were cloudy skies... A little later i decided it was fog... Finally i decided to check the weather and learned that smoke from wildfires in both British Columbia and the Yukon are in Juneau. It was a smoggy haze this morning (Monday), but now i can smell that it is smoke and it seems to be getting worse. The smoke is expected to last until at least Wednesday.

Here is a picture from Monday taken at about 11 AM...

and Tuesday taken in the same spot, but at about 9 AM...

This is what the view usually looks like...

The smoke got worse throughout the day on Monday, but seems less thick today.

This is a picture of the Monday late afternoon sun from my driveway...
