Every Saturday participants post photos based on a theme. The theme for this Saturday is AFTERMATH.

Sweet photo, isn’t it? Other photos here.

So where is the aftermath?

See that dark patch at the level of the umbrellas? That is dirty air or smog, hanging on, keeping the dirty air where the people can breath the dirty particles. Ugh.

Having that kind of air makes people sick with different kinds of respiratory illnesses. These are not really called effects but rather ill-effects :(

I remember those smog from the cars exhaust. I couldn’t ever leave our house without a handkerchief….how else am I going to cover my nose from the dust?

It’s when vehicles go long periods without check.

Must be near an urban area and I can relate. I have problems with allergies and that type of air is murder.

Smog is one thing we don’t have to deal with here in the middle of the country – thank goodness. Besides being detrimental to one’s health it simply has to be so depressing. Nice photo even with the smog!

The aftermath from the air pollution is really bad for our health :( Makes it worst, if one is already suffering from sinus too.

Happy Weekend Julie :)
