Most Awful, Gross, Hideous Smog


Yuck! We could see it drifting in from the southwest over downtown Los Angeles and Long Beach. Worst I've ever seen.


P.S. Although the smog can be pretty bad, it appears that this was in part smoke from a 40-acre wildfire burning down where Glendale and Eagle Rock meet near the 134 intersection with the 2. The details: http://www.firefighternation.com/forum/topics/firefighters-contain-glendale.

  3. OBdaDA, kinky keyboard stuff goin' on there! Yeah, I've been here for just over a year, and fortunately, have never seen such horrible smog. Hope it stays "down there"!

    Greeneyes, I usually take pics with a Nikon D40 and Nikkor 18-200 mm lens. Thanks for visiting!
