Hazy Sunset - Explore! - a photo on Flickriver

            I have long admired those photos with layers of mountains in haze. This was the first opportunity I've had to photograph such a scene.  

This is on the west slope of the Sierra Nevada between Sonora Pass and the town of Sonora.  The haze comes from burning and plowing in California's Central Valley, which created some beautiful color in the sky just before sundown.
