Haze in Malaysia

Before Posted by Picasa


After Posted by Picasa


While you are looking at this picture...
we in malaysia are in bad condition.... the air quality is very bad.
This is all due to the Forest Fire in Indonesia and the wind blows all the smoke towards Malaysia and we are all blanketed with the haze, smoke....

the first picture (before) was taken on 16-05-2004
while the second picture (after) was taken on 09-08-2005....yesterday

For one moment i thought i was somewhere in Swiss Alps villages for all the "clouds"....and "whole-day dew"

yesterday is bad...but today it is WORSE...news reported that this could last until October for the wind directions aint gonna change for quite sometime.

haze is always a problem around large cities - this will dissipate if it is smoke left over.

so, take the bottom picture, add a brown and dingy tone to it, leave it there for years and years -- because it's not due to smoke, but trapped smog and pollution -- and "presto" you have L.A. I grew up in the smoggy L.A. area, and I only recognized how gross the air was once I moved away. Glad the air in Malaysia is only due to fires and not the regular daily life.

Beautiful picture...the before one, that is!

Isint it amazing how interconnected we are? This is a perfect example of how all our actions effect others- even in other countries. May the wind be with you! Take care!
