Smokey Skies
Smoke from the massive Rim Fire in Yosemite NP infiltrated the skies over the Oakhurst and surround area and created some interesting visuals
Pines & Smoke
Taken at a turn-off along Beasore Road near Bass Lake, the thick smoke from the Rim Fire, burning miles away in Yosemite NP, creates a very ominous feeling in the area.

Early Night
The thick smoke from the Rim Fire blanketed much of the Oakhurst area for a few days. Here, high up on Beasore Rd near Bass Lake, you get a sense of how thick it was by how much sunlight was blocked and the ominous feeling it created.
