Before And After: Choking Bay Area Smoke Photos

OAKLAND, CA — Do you have a headache? Is your throat raw? Chances are good that you are feeling the effects of a full week's worth of wildfire smoke.

Susan Davis sent Patch a pair of photos taken from the same balcony in Oakland. One shows the view on a typical day, while the other was snapped since smoke from the Camp Fire in Butte County blanketed the area. The difference is remarkable, with the smoke photo looking like a sepia-toned print from the 1800s.

Here's a look at the full version of the photos. Thank you for sharing, Susan. By the way, nice view!

If you have an awesome photo of nature, breath-taking scenery, kids caught being kids, a pet doing something funny or something unusual you happen to catch with your camera, we’d love to feature it on Patch.

We’re looking for high-resolution images that reflect the beauty that is Northern California, and that show off your unique talents.
