Photo Hunters - Funky

photo hunter

So this time the theme is FUNKY. The only thing that i have right now that resembles anything to FUNKY is the smell that was lingering around my university area thanks to the haze. Every morning i had to wake up to this funky smell and i had to endure for more than 2 weeks -_-

haze

 

The visibility was less than a kilometer. The smell was bad enough and now i have to drive through the thick smoke.

The haze was so bad that, even when we are in the car we would have to wear surgical mask. Now is that funky enough ? :P

That’s bad! I can imagine the smell and it’s been years since I’ve been anywhere near anything like it.

pat at 03:32 on 4 August 2007

Oh no, that is terrible. Is it like that often where you are?

Have a good weekend.

satkuru at 03:36 on 4 August 2007

it happens on a yearly basis. fortunately, this year wasn’t that bad. the picture was taken 2 years back :)

Karen (Pediacast) at 03:53 on 4 August 2007

OH yeah, that is funky if you have to wear a MASK!

Mine’s up.

THat does not look good at all. It can’t be good for asthmatics and people with respiratory problems. Happy weekend

Ah, I can relate. Good, it’s rainy nowadays. Is it back? lol…wearing surgical mask to school, work, etc. is funky indeed. I experienced it too. :)

incog & nito at 05:20 on 4 August 2007

Ewww I know that feeling. We have alot of smoke haze around us at the moment. It smells. Happy weekend.

jmb at 07:31 on 4 August 2007

Oh that’s funky all right. Is it pollution that can’t escape for whatever reason?

MamaBearJune at 08:43 on 4 August 2007

I’ve been in places where the smell is SOOOO funky, but there just wasn’t a way to photograph it. Love your photos.

pelf at 09:53 on 4 August 2007

Oh my, that’s very bad.. We used to have hazy days too, and we had to wear masks whenever we went out. A lot of people got sick during those days..

meeyauw at 10:35 on 4 August 2007

I’ve read all the comments and I am assuming it is pollution. Whatever it is, it’s awful. I’m sorry you have to live through that.

kissedalotatoads at 10:39 on 4 August 2007

Ewwww , must have smelled pretty bad,… and I know the haze makes it linger longer. Have a great weekend.

Jane at 11:17 on 4 August 2007

Yuck! Glad this year wasn’t so bad!

Michele at 20:06 on 4 August 2007

Oh man, that would totally be awful to live like that…. hopefully things are better!

Dragonheart at 21:37 on 4 August 2007

Yuck. Funky and scary too.

My funky photo.

eastcoastlife at 21:39 on 4 August 2007

oops. Hope the haze is not back. It is really bad for health. I don’t want to wear surgical masks when I go out.

ginabee at 22:13 on 4 August 2007

Ewww, that’s funky.

Shawna at 22:17 on 4 August 2007

Ick!! I don’t want to even try to imagine the smell!!

Mark at 23:02 on 4 August 2007

I would say that is more scary than funky, what is happening to cause that?

Anita at 23:50 on 4 August 2007

That was funky! I can’t imagine having to wear a surgical mask.

Linda at 04:19 on 5 August 2007

That’s just way too funky for my liking! I can’t even imagine having to live with that sort of stink and haze. Good luck!

JHS at 05:33 on 5 August 2007

what was causing the haze and smell? That can’t be natural!

satkuru at 05:42 on 5 August 2007

This year the haze wasn’t as bad as when the picture was taken, which was 2 years back. The cause is open burning in the neighboring country and this is done almost on a yearly basis. students will be advised to cut down on outdoor activities if the level reaches critical.

thankfully this year, it never reached that level :)

Sabine at 05:47 on 5 August 2007

oh wow!

Bengbeng at 10:03 on 5 August 2007

u gave me a scare. i tot it was a new photo :)

i hope with inter border cooperation blah blah blah..it will never come back so badly again

Paulie at 13:54 on 5 August 2007

Interesting! I guess I am glad there are many definitions of funky. Glad the online dictionary is not complete in their definition. . . even so, I just couldn’t agree on the definition I “knew” as a younger person many years ago. Thus, i didn’t enter the photo hunt this week. I will be back next week — already have my choice.

Hope you’ll visit mine next week.

mar at 01:43 on 6 August 2007
