Summer Haze

I started noticing that particular summer haze about a week ago.

It is normally made up mostly of pollen, dust and--this year--volcanic ash being blown about bystrong day breezes then hanging suspended in the high-pressure dome that has built over Alaska. This year, the haze is fortified by numerous fires throughout our state.



In the past week, our air has become thick and summery.

Hazy Bay



The normally unrestricted view across lower Cook Inlet was hazy this morning. I suspect that smoke from the big wildfire near McGrath has filtered its way down our way.
