FREMONT, CA — Remember how horrible the smoke was during wildfires last September? Jose H. Garcia shared this sublime photo.

Jose tells Patch that the photo was taken "last September 19 at Lake Elizabeth, 20 minutes after sunrise. No photoshop, Straight out to the camera. The color is from the wildfire smoke."

If you have a nice camera, Jose passes along this this was snapped on a Nikon D7200, 18-200 Nikon Lens, set at 170mm. 1/4000 sec at f16.
