Sun in Kaohsiung

As the sunbeams race through the atmosphere, to be scattered by the haze, the extent of pollution in the second largest city in Taiwan is made dishearteningly clear. Buildings only two kilometers away are made fuzzy by the suspended particles of dust, smoke and poisonous gases. As the |
buildings retreat into the distance they grow fuzzier and fuzzier, until eventually they cannot be seen through the smog. You have to be here to experience the smell, the sore throat, and all the other sensory input, but this photo captures the visual clues that say, living here is slowly poisoning you. |
