The view to the west yesterday from a bridge over the dry Santa Fe River. The smokey haze is from the Cerro Pelado fire in the Jemez Mountains which is about 35 miles to Northwest as the crow flies. The dry Santa Fe river is a symptom of the climate crisis which has led to a severe drought in the West. Normally this time of the year the snow melt would have resulted in a flowing a river in the Spring. Now the snow had melted except for a few patches here and there. We need moisture and lots if it! #Haze #SmokeySkies #WestOfSantaFe #ClimateChange #WeNeedMoisture #CerroPeladoFire #Wildfire (at Santa Fe, New Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdCZzTVrOwQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
