Veiled by Smoke


You can only see a ghost of her at 7:45 A.M., she's so thickly veiled by smoke from the wildfires on the other side of the mountains. Every morning, smoke masses into the San Luis Valley and settles. By evening, the winds will have cleared the curtain a bit.

Her silhouette hovers on the horizon, a faint etching in the haze.
