Cinder Dawn on the City

The rains ended in April, followed by drought and now wildfires burning across Canada. Smoke blanketed the east coast of the US for days, leading to hellscape skies of ash across major cities, such as New York. Under the light of a seemingly dying sun, we look upon a stylized version of the city's skyline choked in ashes. A sickly tree struggles in the foreground, reminding us of what we are losing. Scenes like this are sadly going to become more common.
