A breath of fresh air!

We've been suffering through an extended period of moderate haze in Singapore — perhaps ten weeks of almost continuous gray, visibility obscuring conditions. Last summer, we had a short intense period of haze that was like an acute illness. Really bad, but then it was done. This year it was more of a nagging, persistent, condition that just wears gradually on one's spirit.

Last Saturday, on the day we walked the Green Corridor, it was much better. Today, although the official haze statistics weren't great, the visibility was. I celebrated by leaving work an hour earlier than usual and taking my favorite walk, along the Southern Ridges, from Kent Vale to Harbour Front. The photos capture some of the beauty that Singapore features when the skies are free of haze.
