Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

The pictures are two from late February that show the level of smog and haze in the sky and another from 1.5 months later where the sky is blue. I have NEVER seen a blue sky in Hyderabad - it’s always a constant haze and it shows the stark contrast and effect we have on the environment. The picture from the Hyderabad golf club was taken about 10AM in the morning without a cloud in the sky.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
