Autumn Playground at Yellowknife River Park Under Wildfire Smoke

Filmed at the Yellowknife River Day Use Park, this forward-moving drone shot begins with a view of the river in the background before gliding over a small forest in full autumn colour. A children's playground and scattered picnic tables sit beneath yellow foliage, their tones muted by a thick blanket of wildfire smoke. As the drone flies forward and tilts downward, the perspective shifts into a top-down view. The smoke softens visibility and mutes natural colours to warm, earthy tones. Captured during one of the worst air quality days in Yellowknife's history, this rare environmental moment offers a haunting visual of climate and wildfire impact in Canada's North.
