Dust rain

The haze in this early morning photo of the Tower of London is SMOG, NOT FOG. Contrast this with Tuesday's bright skies:

The papers reported "one of the year's worst smogs in London" - which followed a combination of strong winds and dust storms in the Sahara that deposited fine red dust in London (and all of southern England). Air pollution was expected to reach the highest level of 10 in London yesterday and today.



[This is a re-blip … apologies to those who commented on my first blip. Just needed to change it to something more suited to the day.]
