Funny River Fire - Day 3 - Pictures

Taken around 1:30 - 2:00pm at the Kenai Beach and Kenai River Bridge... as well as a few of the smoke cloud hanging over my house. A smokey haze has fallen on Soldotna and Kenai, it doesn't smell too bad, but it's obviously in the air because my throat and nose are acting up. Bugs are swarming low and all over, it's crazy bad. All of Central Peninsula is affected and under smoke clouds so it's dark and cold... but it makes for some pretty cool pictures.

Dad called mom around 9pm tonight saying you could see the smoke from the Funny River Horse Trail fire from the Kenai Beach (he was fishing). So I went down and snapped a few pictures. With the wind blowing as strong and fast as it is, the 2 acre fire has now grown to over 1,000 acres burned. And it's only going to get worse it seems.
