It's no secret that BC is under siege from a seemingly infinite coat of smog, but do you remember what the sky looks like?

Some British Columbians have contrasted the beautiful summer (as well as winter) views of the province in nostalgic pursuit of the traditional views they remember. 

Here is a compilation reflecting the age-old saying, "You don't know what you've got until it's gone."

Thanks, Kurt, for our thumbnail!

BC's baked skies have also resulted in an air quality statement being issued across the province. Be careful of how you spend your time outdoors as the smoke could have adverse effects on your health.

The province's smoky skies are being caused by the many fires burning throughout the province, visit NowMedia's Firewatch page for all the latest on fires in the area.
