Smoky Morning Sky: Concord Photo Of The Day

CONCORD, CA — This picture was taken the morning of Wednesday, Sept. 9 — more than a week ago — when skies over Concord and throughout the Bay Area were thick with wildfire smoke and the air quality was poor.

Thursday as we post this photo, it is the first day in weeks there has not been a Spare the Air alert in effect for the region.

According to the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, an air quality advisory is in effect for Thursday and Friday.

Thanks to this photo shared by Concord Patch reader Ronald Glas, we can appreciate the improvement in air quality.

It's Your Shot: Pictures You Take and We Share

Have you got the next incredible photo? If you have an awesome photo of nature, breathtaking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch, we'd love to feature it on Patch. We're looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is the East Bay, and that show off your unique talents.

So, bring 'em on. No selfies. Not here.

Send your photos to autumn.johnson@patch.com and we'll post the feature on an occasional basis. Or — post it to the Neighbor Posts section of your local Patch and we'll feature it up top. Be sure to also include when and where the shot was taken and any other details about what was going on.
