This tele-photo was taken on 3rd of Feb98 .. looking west at 10am from a boat at around 10km distance with a tele-lens (my little monocular in front of my Casio QY10). I enhanced the colours and contrast and now one can see the disaster, as one can see it with the naked eye. It nicely shows the brown haze over Auckland which is almost exclusively from private motor-car emissions. There was a slight breeze, and it was otherwise a nice summer's day. There were some german tourists on the boat, who were quite shocked to see the dirty air over Auckland, once it was pointed out to them.
