a smoke-greyed sky


There are now so many tents and canopies all over campus that it's started to look like old photos of the hillsides before the battle of Balaclava.  These particular ones, I think, are in readiness for Saturday's football game against Oregon State.  Once before, when I took a photo of these awnings outside Taper Hall, it showed a startling contrast between blue sky and white canvas.  Today, yellow-grey smoke clouds were rolling up and over the mountains at lunchtime, and all was yellow haze by this evening: the wind has changed, and this was all coming from the fires further north in California.  I wish I'd been in a position to take a picture of the evening sun: bright and ominous red through the haze.
