Every morning this week, I've observed haze from the fields down by my school. We've had hard frosts here every morning this week and the pepper crop has been devastated. Growers, in an attempt to save the peppers, have resorted to burning piles of SOMETHING on the edge of the rows, creating the haze which can be seen from Interstate 10. Yesterday morning I drove out by the fields to see what was going on. This is what I saw. SkyWatch Friday for December 9, 2011. I should mention that the local news did announce that the valley's pepper crop has been ruined by the frosts....sigh... To visit SkyWatch Friday, please go to:

Sorry, it is sad for the farmers to lose a crop. The haze and smoke do make interesting photos. Happy skywatching.
