You can see there's a lot less smoke in the background.

Less smoke is good assuming it's not just because the wind is blowing a different direction or all of the fuel has been burned up. At least you're seeing from the far side of the river. I've heard about the fires, and then some floods in the US up north. I'm not sure if Mother Nature is grumpy or if the Internet has just made everything so much more widespread and common knowledge.
