keep them coming the pics are stunning 
I read recently that due to the fires burning to the east and south of Seattle, our air quality has been slightly worse than Beijing 
^ Can you make out the downtown buildings less than a half mile from where all these were taken?

Today was a little bit better but still vis was quite low, considering those downtown buildings are nearer to a quarter mile away here >
Here's a couple shots of the sun taken last week mid afternoon >
And here we see the Brewster Fire in North Central WA, just a few miles north of Wenatchee... sent from a friend who works a 'farm' in Brewster last week.
From the farm on Monday (there's actually a mountain behind all that smoke!) >
These where from Tuesday afternoon when they started smoking from another direction >
So glad you and your family (Percy the missing cat in particular) survived the ordeal and your property mostly came out unscathed!!!
Did you know that gargoyles were stationed atop and around buildings in the days of yore as 'protectors?' There may still be something to that in your case! (I've got a good size one tattooed behind my right shoulderblade, but I think he takes naps on occasion
)

Those pics from WA are amazing and horrendous...So glad you and your family (Percy the missing cat in particular) survived the ordeal and your property mostly came out unscathed!!!

Yes on the gargoyles as protection
Parts of our property burned, but they stopped the fire from getting the house. Which is truly a blessing.
We're cleaning up now (lots of smoke and such). We feel very, very fortunate.
Hello, I'm back!
Enjoy some pics from Puglia, southeasternmost region of Italy:
Torre Lapillo, just outside Porto Cesareo, one of the places with the most beautiful sea in Italy; the beach of Pizzomunno in Vieste; the typical houses of Alberobello, called "trulli".
There is a nice legend about Pizzomunno, the white monolith standing before the beach: it used to be a handsome fisherman, for whom the sirens living in the nearby waters would rise out of the water and sing. He would go and gaze at the moon over the sea every night with her beloved girl, Cristalda. One night the jealous sirens kidnapped the girl and she was never to be found. Pizzomunno was so desperate and in pain that he turned into a giant rock...and he will wait forever the return of her girl.
Or something like that.
EDIT: a version of the legend says that Cristalda would return for one night every 100 years to spend the night with his beloved Pizzomunno.

That top picture....Is that what Taco Bell looks like in Italy?
No drive up window, eh? ...bummer
Totally random and amateur, just posting because we were supposed to be at this show last night in Milwaukee before the virus cancelled live shows. 
When I first saw the Pizzomunno in you pics I thought of a person turned into a pillar. Then I read your posting!!
Sunset, Huntington Harbor entrance, from the Pacific Coast Highway overpass.
In the background is Palos Verdes, and to the right, is a U.S. Navy Destroyer, in for re-provisioning, at the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station.

Nothing much, just a large wildfire a couple of miles away...
Pic of one of the profile knives I’d just made for the custom wood molding wood shop I work at, thought it looked cool in that light.
I pulled out of my driveway and headed west and saw this. So I stopped my car in the middle of the road, grabbed my cell phone and took this picture through the windshield.
