Having a little fun tracking this sailboat crossing San Francisco Bay while the heavy smog pretty much spoiled my cityscape photography on that October day.

You can see the photo of this same boat passing the Golden Gate Bridge 4 minutes earlier ~~here~~. 😊

"Haze is traditionally an atmospheric phenomenon in which dust, smoke, and other dry particles suspended in air obscure visibility and the clarity of the sky.

Haze over the San Francisco Bay can also be a precursor to smog, which is caused by nitrogen oxides and other volatile organic compounds in the air.

When it's cooler, these compounds appear grayish, but as the day heats up, they can turn yellow or brown through a chemical reaction.

The haze is more visible over the bay because it mixes with moisture."

Hope you're having a good day/night, wishing you a nice new week ahead!
