A view of Beijing's polluted sky

by Aristeidis Georgoulias, Democritus University of Thrace, Xanthi, Greece

This photo was taken on 17 October 2008 from the square near Beijing's Olympic facilities. One can barely see the buildings situated only a few houndreds of meters away through Beijing's polluted sky. It is quite amazing how the sky turned from very clear (16/08) to hazy (17/08) in one day.
