Stubble Burning

Every year about this time I get cranky as farmers across the region burn their stubble. Not only does it create a pall of smoke that lingers (and is terrible for asthmatics), it creates a stampede of rodents looking for shelter (sigh) and is terrible for the environment. But this is the way things have always been done and will continue to be done.

The only upside is the extraordinary sunsets due to the smoke, which my phone camera fails to capture (even with all those nifty instagram filters).
