                                  Does this bonfire not affect air quality?

                                  Are they smudging the bamboo trees?

                                      I hope they are not burning plastics

                         Is the hazy San Carlos Hts the result of collective smokes of bonfires?

             The telephoto did not work hard enough;wisp of smoke at the middle of the photo

                                     The smokestack spewing its load early on

                                  Can you see the smokestack painting the sky?
