Minneapolis Skyline Through Wildfire Smoke, Bde Maka Ska

Minneapolis's downtown skyline is obscured by smoke from Canadian wildfires, viewed from the vicinity of Bde Maka Ska. The lake, one of the city's Chain of Lakes, is a popular destination for recreation and is bordered by parkland and residential areas. The presence of wildfire smoke highlights the increasing impact of climate change on air quality across North America. The Minneapolis Uprising, which occurred in the summer of 2020, also took place in the city, though this image does not directly depict that event.
