on September 9,2020, there was a strange phenomenom. Bay area skies were orange. It was /noticebly darker in the sky, and cooler too. Everything had an orange glow. This was due to wildfires from which smoke drifted to the Bay Area. The Zogg fire was one of /these. it looked like Mars. Quite an eerie sight.of course, the air quality wasnt good either. There was an orange glow this year, but not nearly as dramatic as a year ago.

@Aquitaine24 You can reduce the size by using 'paint'
