The yellow text says "Atlantic Ocean." The yellow arrows are pointing out the smoke from the fires.

When Rho and I were driving along Leif Ericson Dr. in Brooklyn Saturday, you could see this thick haze along the beach and out at sea...we weren't sure what it was until we watched the news Saturday night...you could see it hanging on the bridges too.

They said we would get one more round of it Monday night, and they weren't kidding. From where I was (NE Philadelphia), it was blocking out some of the sunlight...the sky had that deep blue look to it, as if it was about to rain. What a mess.

Incidentally, the second photo is from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, near Annapolis, MD...about 850 miles south of the fires.
