Philippe, I hate to spoil the assumption, but, so far as I know, it is 
the same one I usually have at the airport, my Fuji XE-1 that I keep in 
the car.  The difference today was the sky color. Apparently a front 
came through and cleared out the haze for a day.  I had to reduce the 
blue saturation to find a white.

When I was learning to fly, in the late 1950s, we had quite a few days 
with that kind of visibility.  Climate change HAS made a difference that 
you can see.
