June 7 2023
On June 7 2023, New York City was engulfed in thick, orange-tinted smoke as record-breaking air pollution from Canadian wildfires drifted south. The city experienced its worst air quality in history, with the AQI soaring into hazardous levels and visibility severely reduced.
What I woke up to on 6/7/2023
Via broadway
View from the B has never looked so different
View of the sun from Chinatown
The Manhattan bridge
Some New Yorkers wore masks and some did not
More traffic than usual
Running with a K-95 on
Pigeons under scaffholding
The sun when the air quality was at its worst
Even the shadows were orange
Visibility was low
Lunch on an empty playground
Together on the train
Smog cleared up a little by late noon
