Photo Hunters - Funky

Posted on August 4, 2007 - Filed Under photohunters

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.

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

    Have a good weekend.

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

    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. :)

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

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

  11. MamaBearJune on August 4th, 2007 8:43 am

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

  12. pelf on August 4th, 2007 9:53 am

    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..

  13. meeyauw on August 4th, 2007 10:35 am

    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.

  14. kissedalotatoads on August 4th, 2007 10:39 am

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

  15. Jane on August 4th, 2007 11:17 am

    Yuck! Glad this year wasn’t so bad!

  16. Michele on August 4th, 2007 8:06 pm

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

  17. Dragonheart on August 4th, 2007 9:37 pm

    Yuck. Funky and scary too.

    My funky photo.

  18. eastcoastlife on August 4th, 2007 9:39 pm

    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.

  19. ginabee on August 4th, 2007 10:13 pm

    Ewww, that’s funky.

  20. Shawna on August 4th, 2007 10:17 pm

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

  21. Mark on August 4th, 2007 11:02 pm

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

  22. Anita on August 4th, 2007 11:50 pm

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

  23. Linda on August 5th, 2007 4:19 am

    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!

  24. JHS on August 5th, 2007 5:33 am

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

  25. satkuru on August 5th, 2007 5:42 am

    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 :)

  26. Sabine on August 5th, 2007 5:47 am

    oh wow!

  27. Bengbeng on August 5th, 2007 10:03 am

    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

  28. Paulie on August 5th, 2007 1:54 pm

    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.
