Hello Tim. Glad to see your work. An encouraging picture, but also nostalgic. Those were the days of pre-corona times.

Thank you Jim. Yes this was definitely pre-covid-19. I believe it was Chinese New Years and people were visiting the temple where I was standing. Hope you are safe and healthy.

I’d say welcome back except I’ve been a bit missing as well. What struck me immediately about the photo (beyond the color) was the crowd. I’d be freaking out! –Curt

Thank you Curt. The the smoke from the wildfire has been driving me inside and it was also time to get back online. I hope you and your wife are safe from all the fires.

So far the fires are keeping their distance, Tim. I’m taking lots of photos of smoke, however. đŸ™‚ Others have not been so lucky, obviously. Glad to hear that you are safe for now. I know that fires continue to haunt your area. –Curt

Excellent! We are seeing some improvements here in the North Bay but the Breezometer App’s map indicates a decrease in air quality later in the day. I think we have now been in the longest San Francisco Bay Area Spare The Air Day alerts with 30 days running. Not good.
