elkoholic Posted August 2, 2021 Report Share Posted August 2, 2021 We were blessed with enough rain yesterday to knock the dust down for a couple of hours this morning and along with that a unique aroma. As the summer rolls on every year and the grasses dry out, a rain shower will produce, what I like to call, a somewhat pleasing "wet dry grass" smell. Now with all the fires and smoke (there was visible ash) you add in the smell of wet burnt wood and viola, you have a most unusual and somewhat confusing olfactory experience. Unfortunately, the rain storms did not help much with the fight against the fires and the accompanying winds caused more rapid destruction. I did enjoy the resulting smells, but then I'm a little strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin R10 man Posted August 3, 2021 Report Share Posted August 3, 2021 Dave, I have also noticed that smell after a shower, sure brings out the auroma of the land. Talk about weird smells, we are working on a Dupont Superfund site this summer. Recovering contaminated soil with explosives residue. (TNT)... man some of that soil has unique smells to it.
