Herb Lingl took this aerial photograph of wildfire smoke in the mountains of Humboldt County, California from an altitude of approximately 9,500′ above sea level on August 31, 2022. It is part of a series of aerial photographs documenting wildfires in California.

The volume of smoke being generated by this and other fires burning in the western portion of North America is massive. The smoke reaches high altitudes and spreads to distant locations. Wildfire smoke from West Coast wildfires has reached New York City and Washington, DC in recent years.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Global Systems Laboratory created a striking animated graphic showing the spread of wildfire smoke. The New York Times published it in a 2021 article entitled See How Wildfire Smoke Spread Across America.

The smoke from the wildfire shown above is from the Six Rivers Lightning Complex Fire. It has already burned well over 30,000 acres.

Smoke is a particularly concerning wildfire hazard. It is certain to have widespread long term impacts on human health. Particulate matter, especially small particles (less than 2.5 microns in size) can be inhaled into the deepest parts of the lungs causing adverse heart and lung effects. While these shorter term impacts have received the most attention, there are now an increasing number of studies on the long term impacts on human health of wildfire smoke. The chemicals in wildfire smoke are correlated with an increase in the risk of all kinds of cancer. Among the other long term impacts of wildfire smoke identified by these studies are premature mortality, increased respiratory and cardiovascular disease, as well as mental health issues.

Kenmore Air Harbor shown above is of particular interest to Lingl who is a commercial seaplane pilot. Kenmore Air is an American airline that operates scheduled and charter seaplane and landplane services.

Kenmore was established is March 21, 1946 with a single Aeronca Scout on floats and a hangar on north Lake Washington at a location once occupied by a lumber mill. The company is still at the same location.

Kenmore has developed a worldwide reputation for seaplane maintenance and restoration.

The firm became a dealer of the Republic Seabee in the 1940s. Kenmore became an expert in the Seabee’s maintenance and developed several performance improving modifications.

In the 1960s it expanded its seaplane maintenance services to include the de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver. When de Havilland ceased Beaver production in 1967, Kenmore became a leading refurbisher of Beavers and has rebuilt over 100 Beavers since then.

San Francisco Giants Opening Day, April 11, 2000 Poster

This 22 x 28 inch aerial poster of San Francisco is a view created on Opening Day, April 11, 2000 at San Francisco's baseball stadium, ATT park, also once known as SBC park and PacBell park, home of the San Francisco Giants. San Francisco Giants' baseball park in San Francisco is the first privately financed stadium in major league baseball since Dodger Stadium in 1962. With a seating capacity of 41,503 the park has a unique setting at the edge of San Francisco bay, with outstanding seats--the first row of seats is only 48 feet from homeplate. The Goodyear blimp was flying and broadcasting overhead on this day. The poster also shows a containership emerging from the fog entering San Francisco bay beneath the Golden Gate bridge, an audience of boats in McCovey Cove adjacent to the ballpark, and provides an excellent view of San Francisco's South Beach marina.
