(Note by Mom: The pollution has been so mucky this week. Whitney took photos of it this week for a photography class. Her assignment was to take pictures of some issue to help raise awareness of it. You can hardly see the mountains in these photos because the haze is so bad.)
When I set out to take these photos, I wanted to raise awareness about the pollution in Utah. It is really disgusting that some days we have to stay inside because it is so bad! The health specialists say that on days like this Tuesday and Friday, that if you are outside for an hour, you’ve just done the equivalent damage of smoking a pack of cigarettes. That’s how much gunk accumulates in your lungs. Bleah!!

I love your photography. Too bad about the pollution though. Love Grandma N
Whitney, the next time you document the pollution, you might want to go up the canyon to where your camera angle is just above the haze. It gives you an amazing contrast between the clear air above and the gunk below. Unfortunately, the inversions that trap the bad air in the valleys is just a part of our climate and geography. So what is the solution?
