Well that's to be expected whey you're breathing sulfuric acid, sulfur
dioxide and other things, not meant for humane consumption.
Sure is pretty though.

Comments are invited.
The color of this sunset is produced by "vog" from the Big Island,
which had been drifting over to Maui because a high pressure area was
diverting the usual trade winds from the Northeast.
Vog isresults when sulfur dioxide and other gases and particles
emitted by an erupting volcano react with oxygen and moisture in the
presence of sunlight. The word is a portmanteau of the words
"volcanic", "smog", and "fog".
Vog makes for colorful sunsets, but can cause headaches, watery eyes,
sore throats, or even breathing difficulties if it is concentrated
enough or persists for a long period or time. On Maui, it is usually
quite mild compared to what can occur on certain portions of the
Island of Hawaii (the Big Island).
