Smoggy Foggy

Smoggy in Ottawa

Well, it's a hot, smoggy day here in Ottawa. With the humidity, it's an unpleasant 41 C (that's 105 for you backwards Farenheit users). The picture above is of the Ottawa skyline, taken only moments ago from my balcony. I'm a mere 7km (~ 5 mi) from downtown, but it's just a hazy outline.

Ottawa doesn't really have much in heavy industry. The smog that's siting over us is a combination of industrial pollutants from southern Ontario and the U.S. northeast with smoke from forest fires in northern Ontario and Quebec. I guess I'll be using the A/C for a few more days.
