A couple of pics…

Got back home a couple of hours ago, downloaded a batch of pictures from the camera. There are some nice shots, but I still need to sort them out. Either way I thought I'd share 2 of them here and now. You can click on them to go to flickr and see the description n' stuff.

Countryside pictures

This past summer, while at Junin for new year we went to some friends' country house. While we were scorching under the sun a fast storm front approached.

It took me quite a while to upload this pictures (don't know why), but I thought I'd share.

Smokin’

For the past couple of weeks there has been smoke from plain and forest fires to the north of the city. But yesterday was the worst day so far. This is how the sun looked like at about 6:30PM
Smoked Sun
And this is how the skyline looked like at around the same time.
Smoked Sunset
After a whole night breathing that stuff I woke up with a mild headache, a sore throat and my nose was feeling funny. Fortunately winds started blowing the stuff away during the day, but smoke seems to be back now. Not as hard as yesterday but annoying enough.
Smoked Morining
On the bright side I must admit sunsets have been a pleasure to witness.
