A lot of Okanagan residents and tourists were already looking skyward on Tuesday night to inspect a large plume of smoke rising to the south.

Others were trying to get a glimpse of a much smaller bit of smoke being produced by a new spot fire north of West Kelowna.

As is often the case when Mother Nature puts on a show like this, people flocked to the beach and other viewpoints to capture the moment with their cameras.
