Four Days of Iraqi Haze

It's been hot humid and hazy for four or so days now. Each day the air just gets thicker with dust and moisture. It feels like the sky is on the verge of raining mud. In spite of the hovering gloom I got several photos of people smiling today, just by chance.

Big smile #1.





A pair of smiles. Reassuring to see someone stop and play with a cute kid just for the sake of interaction. I'm amazed sometimes at all the adults walking by all the street kids without second glance.
Haze layers in the distance.

Smile #4.

Taking out the trash.

A small fan club.

Turning a corner.
