This past July I headed out west to a friends wedding in the Sacramento Area, after this event it was off to Lake Tahoe for a few days.  Unfortunately a Telegraph fire near Yosemite started up around this time and when getting to the lake I was welcomed with a wall of smoke due to the winds blowing the smoke north.  On the last day I was at South Shore and woke up early and headed drove over to Emerald Cove where as some light started to show in the morning hour it was obvious the winds had changed direction for a while giving the image below which is the July 2008 in the Twelve Images of 2008.
