Great Lakes region, USA. July 2026.
We’re getting the brunt of the Canadian wildfire smoke here and it’s so bad you can look directly at the sun and see its current sunspots. I feel really bad for all the wildlife that has no protection.
Your second photo looks like the Japanese flag on dark mode.
That should be their battle flag, tbh. Pretty rad looking.
It’s more the setting sun than rising, lol. It would make a pretty cool flag.
