This evening we had a combination of smoke and dust due to winds. The smoke was from a new wildfire burning near Sells, Arizona (the Boboquivari Fire). The combination made for some awful air quality but some spectacular and unusual photos.

| Sunset looking west from east Tucson. The sun is still up and its a cloudless day. |
 |
| Its hard to believe there's a sun there and its just dust and smoke. |
 |
| Looking north. You can barely make out the outline of the mountains. |
 |
| Zoomed in, still can barely make out the outline of the Rincon mountains. |
 |
| Another photo looking north. There are mountains behind all the dust and smoke... somewhere! |
 |
| This was the next day to show you the difference. Mountains clearly visible. |
