The winds brought the smoke, presumably from the nearby Dalton fire, part of the Chiwaukum Creek wildfire, to Lake Chelan. The morning dawned with a vision that brought Deep Purple to mind: there was smoke on the water. By late afternoon much of the smoke in the valley had cleared up but there was still enough higher up to turn the moon an orange-red. It made for a particularly interesting orange moonset as it disappeared over the hills.
