Fire 93000000 miles away

Heavy smoke and particulate matter from forest fires and brushfires (some man-made) have contributed to unhealthy air quality in the Pacific Northwest since yesterday afternoon.  This is supposed to stick around for another 24 hours before a weather front moves in with enough wind to blow it away.  Last year it lingered for weeks.  Some of the smoke has reportedly come from Siberia.   

In the last few years, it seems that the number of fires in this area have increased during the summer.  California has certainly had its share of large fires this year.

Iso-250, 200-500 at 400 mm, F8, 800th, D 500, tripod, 98% full frame, DxO photo lab, Adobe camera raw 10.3, Topaz adjust, TK sharpening action at 40%.

Generally, I would not use DxO photo lab for noise reduction on an image taken at iso-250 however, this decreased the effect of the particulate matter and any noise in the dark area of trees.
