The Ring of Fire

I flew to Japan from Singapore along the subduction zone that connects Japan to Indonesia. There were islands out the window most of the way. They were really cool....



By the time I got to Japan, the air had turned so hazy that you could only see the mountain tops peeking through the haze. I don't know if it's pollution or just hot/wet air..... Singapore was similar - hazy and muggy, but it didn't smell like L.A.
