Went out for a walk with the family the other day and my neighbor asked if I had seen the sun that day. Nah, it was not him referring to me working overnights. We headed over to a clearing.
We saw an uncommon scenery of the setting sun. To be frank, a lot of it is most likely due to the smog and air pollution in the area. Usually, the sun is still intense before the actual sunset.
The orange hue was definitely unique. You could have stared at it with little to no repercussion. Of course, I don't recommend that. I took the pictures with my iPhone XR. For the most part, they still don't do the scene justice. But hey, I did my best.
Looking back, one of the good things that came with the pandemic was the feeling of a cleaner environment. The inversion wasn't too bad this year when most people weren't driving. Now, it seems smoggy every couple of weeks.
It's almost the end of August and schools have already started. This summer hasn't been as fun as I wanted it to be. I hope next year is better.
Aren't you in an area where some of the pollution could be from the wildfires in California? I have heard that the air is really bad in and around the state. That is a pretty sweet sun!
There are fires here too, but I'm not sure of the scale.
But, air pollution is the norm here.
The sun looks surreal. Like it were fake.
It does seem like that, but it's bona fide.
We don't have smog around here, but I remember when I was a kid, there was a huge tire fire in Quebec this one time (I forget if it was a dump or a tire factory), and when the thick smoke made its way over here, the sky was dark and the daylight had an orange tint to it for a few days. This post reminded of that.
Yeah. I think this was something similar. Not stuff burning, but byproduct of the pollutants.
how about my picture????
Looks cloudy.
Yes, This is cloudy sky from the bank of Padma river the biggest river in Bangladesh.
Very nice.
