I had been disappointed in the sea smoke (diminished by the strong winds) but the light in this one perfect moment more than made up for the relatively quiet seasmoke.
Celebrate the 4th of July for three days straight with fireworks taking place every night on the Space Coast 'Smoke on the Water & Fire in the Sky' will. Everyone in Kelowna and Alberta has been talking about the smoke but we haven't had any all summer. Smoke on the Water & Fire in the Sky 9:00 pm Port Canaveral. This song is about a fire that burned down an entertainment complex that was part of a casino in the town of Montreux, Switzerland. Smoke on the water, fire in the sky Well the smoke from the forest fires finally hit Vancouver. Just as the fire in the sky reached its peak, the sun lit up the smoke on the water in a red glow. Smoke on the Water & Fire in the Sky Port Canaveral Glen Cheek Dr., Port Canaveral, FL 32920. I quickly changed the aperture to f/22 to bring out the sun star that I hoped would show as the sun was partially hidden by the clouds. These days Deep Purples Smoke on the Water is such a ubiquitous rock anthem that it almost seems as if its been out there forever. Sure enough, as the sun rose behind the clouds formed from water evaporating into steam, it pushed through the break in the clouds. I was perched there braced against the wind gusts hoping for good light when I started to see breaks forming in the clouds. I drove around trying to find the perfect spot and made my way just before dawn to Fort Sewall.
Any chance to see, let alone photograph, smoke on the water will get me out of the house and so, bundled in layers, I headed out. This morning, air temperatures of 2F and water temperatures of 50F held the promise of sea smoke to make up for the otherwise miserable cold.
