Beijing pollution watch August 5
August 5, 2008
I was up early again this morning in Beijing. Just hate those hard beds.
When I went out to the window for my daily photo I was once again greeted by smoggy skies. See pic below. I was wondering what the Chinese would think of this. They can plan everything but the weather.
Luckily for them it seems to be on the improve again. This afternoon I was out at the Olympic precinct and noticed the skies were going from grey to blue. See in the photo of the Olympic stadium that there are blue skies.
In this photo taken just across from the water cube you can see that the sky is looking nice and blue.
Hopefully tomorrow will be an even better day. Time will tell. When I was back at the apartment I took another photo from the same window as this morning and you can see a lot more clearly. It is still a bit grey however that is low on the horizon.
One contributing factor with pollution here in Beijing are the mountains to the west. They make it harder for the smog to be flushed out of the city.
