Smoke Plume
The above shot of a very large column of smoke was taken west of Stayton along Shaff Rd. I haven't been able to find any online news sources with information about it, so I'm not sure exactly where it was burning or what the cause of it was. I do know it was somewhere southeast of Stayton, between Lyons and Scio. It seemed too large to be an intentional field burning, but I'm far from an expert on the matter.
At the bottom of the photo is a farm field, with irrigation equipment in use.

Sure looks like some kind of serious something-big-is-burning fire. I just enjoyed reading thru your blog and looking thru the photos. Re your August 18 comments - I think a lot of us mourn the passing of the fields and wetlands. I do.
That dark grey smoke looks treacherous to breathe, doesn't it. Very interesting photo to study.
oh, my. that's a lot of smoke! hope no one got hurt.
A very good shot. Looks like a big fire.
I remember when they banned field burning near roads after that big wreck on I-5 in the late 80s and I'm pretty sure they banned all most all field burning in the late 90s.
Whatever it was, I do hope no one was hurt or put out of work/home.
