Bad Air

Starting off on Tortugas's sunset side
Because it's been so warm here in the northern Chihuahuan Desert a temperature inversion has spread over the mountains, a gray haze that's a combination of particulate matter and pollution.  It doesn't happen often here, but it's unpleasant when it does.
Bad air has spilled out of the valley


Everything has a slightly gray tinge

Bad air doesn't bother Becca
