I shot this photograph at 6:44 AM in Vancouver looking out over the cruise port from our hotel window.  See the reflection of the drapes?  🙂

Evidently, British Columbia has been having problems with wildfires like we have been experiencing in California.  And, much of that smoke is working its way to sea level in Vancouver.  This next photograph is the eerie cruise we had heading out of Vancouver to make our way for Alaska’s Inside Passage.

There was so much smoke in the channel that we could barely see the shore on either side.
