Smokey


This time of year in our city of Pune, people burn lots of trash and leaves. (uhm, when doesn't this happen?)
We tried a year ago to move away from this type of thing but we just can't hide from it! At night and at 5am peoples' home fires cause lots of smoke which stays around for hours.

This picture was taken off our bedroom balcony last month. It was a continuation of a fire that was started in the middle of the night. The smoke woke me up and I went out at 2:30 am with a few buckets of water to put it out. The smoke was coming in all our windows facing that area. Since we don't have water from midnight till 4:30AM I couldn't do much.
