Three mountain days versus no city days

Another short post

On one of my normal routes in the factory each day, I have a spectacular view of Taichung....depending. Some days when the weather is clear, you can see the entire city laid out with ranks of mountains behind it. On the clearest of days, you can make out at least three ranks of mountains, gradually taller and farther away, surrounding the city to the east (the ocean is on the west).  Those "three mountain" days come very rarely. Today was a "no city" day. I could barely make out some of the large downtown buildings. HotelOne was completely lost. I think the morning was so opaque due to a combination of smog and haze, probably held in place in advance of the coming storm (Typhoon Kalmaegi). Should bring us some rain. Then maybe some good "three mountain" days.
