Minneapolis and Bde Maka Ska and wildfire smoke.

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.
