Tule Elk Protest at Point Reyes National Seashore

Around 60 protesters stuck their hands through the fence of the Tule Elk Preserve at Point Reyes National Seashore to represent the elk attempting to break free through the fence that surrounds the preserve. 

Activists, including ForElk.org and In Defense of Animals claim the Point Reyes tule elk are dying from neglect by the National Park Service, held a demonstration on September 13, 2020 at the fence of the Tule Elk Preserve on the 58th anniversary of Point Reyes National Seashore.

Spiraleena Mason of FreeElk.org speaks to about 60 protesters asking to take down the fence of the Tule Elk Preserve at Point Reyes.

The Orange Sky above San Francisco

  

Woke up at 6:30 for my SFGate shift to dark skies and thought: “Wow the days are getting shorter!” 

About 20 minutes later it was clear that the dark sky was caused by wildfire smoke filtering out the sun.

After a crazy morning sourcing images from social media, I went into SF to capture a few images myself. 

Well me and about five thousand other photographers. :)

What an insane year when an orange sky is only about the fourth or fifth worst issue of 2020.
