Dramatic view of the sunset filtered through the smoke of wildfires - Burns Lake in the winter of 2026. 

The view looks magical, but the strange colors come from the drama of a big wildfire running through Big Cypress National Preserve. The flames are getting closer and probably the rangers will close the campground. We'll see. So far, we are enjoying the sunset.
