Spectacular Smoky Sunrises & Sunsets


One of the first things I do when I walk into the weather center is check email for weather pictures.  Recently, viewers have done an incredible job of sending their pictures in.  Over the past week we've received some of the most spectacular sunrise and sunset pictures through news@koin.com.  The reason for the red, orange and yellow horizons? Sunny skies and plenty of smoke from wildfires.  Take a look at some of these beautiful pictures!  The shot above is the sunset over the Columbia River sent in by Barry O'Neil.
