Drone Approaches Lake Through Heavy Wildfire Smoke

The shot begins with the lake barely visible through an opaque brown haze, gradually revealing the water and distant shoreline as the drone moves forward. The wildfire smoke is so thick that the entire landscape takes on a muted, sepia-like hue. Light grey and red rocks line the shoreline, their natural tones subdued by the atmospheric veil. Captured along the Ingraham Trail during one of the worst air quality days in Yellowknife’s history, this rare environmental scene offers a striking visual of climate and wildfire impact in Canada’s North.
