Label:  During an early morning August lightning storm, the Lonesome Complex fire began east of the town of Prospect, Oregon.  As with all local forest fires, smoke filled the Rogue Valley, but did reward us with beautiful, dramatic sunsets.  This picture was taken above the Pinot Blanc vineyard at Eagle Point Vineyards.

Look carefully in this picture, when I took the picture I was focusing on the cloud that looked like a volcano plume....but look in the sky, there is a perfect reflection of the mountain and the cloud.
