Apparently some huge ass wildfires north of Montréal are sending smoke all the way down here to Rhode Island. Here are some photos from Prospect Park around 6pm.
3 months ago by gcpvd During the construction on the Financial District (aka East Downcity) part of Westminster, the street has been a de facto pedestrian street (the street was technically open to auto traffic when I took this picture). Maybe we're on to something? Maybe just a lunchtime shutdown?

Thought something was strange.. Drove over the Pell Bridge and it was crystal clear at around 8am… then a haze set over Newport and it was difficult to see across Easton’s Bay to Middletown, etc.. The scent of burning wood was strong too – my coworkers thought a house was on fire nearby. But it lingered all the way back to Providence… and the haze was thick in spots. This answers it all!
I need to stop listening to the SO. We set out on a nice walk and I was going to bring the camera with me.
Then then question “What do you need that for?”. {sigh}
Missed a beautiful sunset.
BTW, here’s a similar shot from Prospect Park taken May 24th. A little bit of haze can be seen in the distance but the city isn’t blanketed with it.
