Ring around the sky

Ring around the sky

I'm not sure if you can see it in this photo (especially at the size in which it will appear on my blog), but there was a faint brown line just above the horizon. Smog. Pollution. Yes, I've seen much worse in other places, but I hold Canada to another standard. It should be pristine. (I know a lot of the pollution actually comes up from the U.S., but it still doesn't make it better.)

It really reminded me of ring around the collar. I wanted to take some stain-remover and scrub the dirty ring away.

If only it were that easy ...
