hazy penang

the haze from indonesia's forest fires has been a big concern for everyone in malaysia. things were getting real bad for the last few days, especially in KL. penang was starting to get hazy yesterday afternoon.
i was up at 4am this morning and there was a mild thunderstorm outside with very strong wind. i thought the haze will at least reside a bit. 7am shows that things aren't that good. this photo is a view from my balcony towards the market near sunshine square. visibility is really low as i can normally see the market from this angle.

this is the road, right below my balcony.click to enlarge

shots of equatorial hotel's golf course, right across the road from my apartment. the red circle is where equatorial should be, but it's not even visible now due to the haze.
