"Asian Dust"

Yesterday I blogged about the "foggy" weather without realizing that it was actually "dusty" weather. I learned that seasonal winds carry sand and dust from the Gobi desert in China right into Seoul. Deforestation has made it worse in the past few years because there are no longer tall tree barriers to block the winds. Fascinating and, eh, gritty. Here's a repost of the pics.
