BostonTimelapse captured the haze over South Boston from the NPS Dorchester Heights camera this morning.

Nathaniel Stinnett got a similar view of the fire-generated, high-altitude haze, across Boston Harbor at the Charlestown Navy Yard:

That's pretty much the only one out there. The clouds been kind of forming a horse shoe around us for a while. I also go on Instagram and search wildfire and different cities to see if anyone is reporting those muted sunsets
