Surreal, apocalyptic images posted as wildfires darken skies across B.C.

This was 3pm along Highway 97 through the North Okanagan: approaching the wildfire smoke drifting east from #whiterocklake fire … dark like dusk driving through the area, but strangely no smoke on the ground… then the glimpse of blue sky approaching Vernon.
