Dirty December (with lots of dust and smoke)

Greetings and a Happy 2020 to you all.  I hope to have 2020 vision for the coming year.  December has been terrible, hot (a number of days in excess of 40C), dry and with visibility of less than 3 Klm either through dust and/or smoke.  Some mornings I never took the dogs for a walk because of the awful air quality.

Wait - that is blue sky and fluffy clouds!  Well, yes, but that sky was taken some time ago and replaced the smoke and dust one.
