Flag, Lit by a Smoke/Haze Sky

Torrington, Connecticut

Another picture from Tuesday. The light at moderately close quarters was strange even when the distances weren't great enough for the haze to be obvious. Look at how distinct the flag shadow is, but also how open, or pale. This effect doesn't happen in sunshine or in overcast, or in low lying fog conditions. It may be familiar in places where inversions and smog or even persistent extreme humidity are normal, but it's quite an unusual effectt o see here in southern New England, and we know why it's happening.
