At first glance it is a striking image of a beautiful sunset. But once presented with information, you can drawer your own conclusions as to how beautiful it really is. The red sky and crisp edges to the sunbeam were caused by smoke from the burning of a sugar cane field in central Florida.

Burning the field prior to harvesting makes the harvest easier by removing all of the leaves so all that remains is the sugar packed stalks. As we drove up US-27 back in January we saw great clouds of smoke rising in the distance. When we got up to Lake Okeechobee and watched the sun set through the smoke, I found this scene both beautiful and sad. This land was once wet, the northern reaches of the Everglades. It was drained and turned in agricultural land to grow sugar cane to feed our insatiable sweet tooth. What are your thoughts on the practice of burning the chaff in a sugar cane field?
