Matt Bussard shared these before-and-after photos taken in Greenwood Lake. “On a positive note, the smoke is inspiring me to take care of some indoor chores that have been neglected,” he said. “However, this is at the expense of some extra coughs, sneezes and itchy eyes.”

“The orange haze and woody smell give off an apocalypse feel. Or it appears to give the photo a filtered almost watercolor painted quality,” said Warwick's Steven Alpert, who captured this photo of Memorial Park. “Either way the current conditions are unsettling for sure. I am trying to stay indoors as much as possible just to be on the safe side.”

Henry Smith, who said he’s limiting his outdoor activity, shared this photo taken from outside his home in Warwick. He reverted back to wearing a K-95 mask outdoors in hopes that it will provide some protection from the smoke.
