This is not supposed to be a pretty image. It is not about what you see, rather what you do not see. To see just how severe the smoke polution is that is caused by the fires in Indonesia, compare this image to previous images of this view. For instance the image I blipped on 31 May 2013 . And this picture is after the polution has abated somewhat. During the day when one does not have the lights, it looks even worse with visibility down to about 300 meters. Then they say and other parts of Malaysia and especialy Singapore is affected even worse. According to media reports the governments of Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore are taking steps to try to improve the situation. I hope they achieve results soon.
