Driving into the smog







On my way from Pretoria back to Vanderbijlpark today I took some photographs of this bank of smog - visible air pollution hanging over the Vaal Triangle.

"The Vaal Triangle and surrounding areas has been declared a national air pollution hotspot (or priority area) in terms of Section 18 (1) of the National Environmental Management: Air Quality Act 2004 (Act No. 39 of 2004) (AQA). This area is known as the “Vaal Triangle Airshed Priority Area”"

...and on a lighter note - this is one of those happy photographic mistakes - This bit of a blurry shot from the car was perfect for a bit of minor post-ed additions (darker edges, added grain and round corners) to produce a retro landscape image of a piece of veld close to Meyerton.
