A reader sent us a message along with a view of the sky "Something beautiful. Greetings from Kierżno". A moment later, she sent another message adding: "However, it is nothing beautiful. It is very sad.".
The information in the additional note came from Meteo Alert-Dolny Śląsku
In Lower Silesia, otherworldly sights appeared in the sky, while a little farther away on the Czech side, a genuine natural disaster was unfolding.... Below is a photo from Paweł of Lwówek Śląski showing the sky. It is difficult to comment on what is happening with our southern neighbors.
The effects in the sky that look so beautiful are the result of a massive fire in Bohemian Switzerland National Park. The fire was recorded by a Czech page reporting on threats: SDH Hasiči Rumburk – zprávy o požárním dění z Rumburku a okolí.
