Coconino County, Arizona, June 2010

In late June I visited Flagstaff. The Schultz Fire had started several days earlier and burned much of the east side of San Francisco Peaks. I explored the forest roads leading south to overlooks of the West Fork of Oak Creek Canyon and the Red Rock Secret Wilderness.

Skies Over Flagstaff, Arizona May - June 2010

Time lapse movies of sunrises, sunsets, cumulus clouds, and smoke from wildfires around Flagstaff, Arizona. The 89 Mesa Fire and the Shultz Fire generated plumes of smoke that drifted with the wind. Moist air flowing through the area creates cumulus clouds as it rises over sources of heat and mountains.
