This was taken in Chawri Bazaar, Delhi just last week. You have seen some other photos of the same place.
These two chaps passed me, as I was photographing the smoke, and whispered ‘pollution’ in my ear. Then, one of them turned and smiled.

This is too awesome. It is just incredible.
Thanks! Glad you like it
Impressive, that is the shot not the smoke that’s BAD!
The smoke is bad!
😦
My city looks the same. The smog is pervasive.
Seriously? As bad as Delhi?
The air burns your eyes and it hurts to breath. People going out have to wear particle masks. BUT with it being winter, people fire up their wood burning stoves and drive off to WalMarts to buy sodas and chips. Amerika can be contradictory.
We burn wood here as well…
It isn’t just the wood. It’s the industrial burning of coal and the oil refineries. We assault the atmosphere like the air we all breath belongs to the corporates. The situation is obscene.
The same…delhi is now rated as the most polluted city in the world. The government does not give a shit
As cliche as it sounds, a picture is truly worth more than 1,000 words.
The human condition…
Yep… We are what we make ourselves out to be
This is sooo great!
Great…glad you like it…
It looks a little eerie, Rajiv. It is the two men that add a friendly touch to it.

Yeah,.. In one edit, I had them as silhouettes.. That was a bit eerie. I lightened the faces to soften the impact
Nicely done.

Thanks so much for following http://fonzandcancer.wordpress.com I really do appreciate it – Fonz
My pleasure. I hope to learn much from you
Great capture Rajiv, it wasn’t that bad when we visited in November!
Thanks… Well, this year we have had a very warm winter. Temperatures are 4 degrees Celsius above normal.. The wood burning picks up in December and Jan..
It’s been a while since I visited India and Delhi, but it’s definitely got worse! What an eerie shot!
Come, visit
One day again soon… But I have many overdue overseas visits, and not enough money to fund them all!!
Come now… You are a rich, young lady
Was it really pollution or just fog?
Smoke from burning refuse… Paper.. Plastic
Wow Rajiv .. Your photos are amazing! Smog or not
Smog, oh smog/ thou wonderful thing / your acrid smoke makes my heart sing / I cry and cry and remember God / Before he sets me down in a marshy bog!
Forgive the doggerel… It just came to me….
If you don’t mind, I may repeat it next week….!
