Beijing

I've been spending the last several days in Beijing checking out some of its sights and in the areas around Beijing. Beijing is nearly always clouded by pollution these days so its hard to find a clear day. For instance:

This pictures was taken mid day. Its hazy not because the camera is bad but because its all dust and pollution in the air. This is about the average day in Beijing. I did go outside the city about 90 miles and the air is better but it was still foggy. Picture at the Immortal's Valley:

Its still foggy and gloomy, but the scenery is very nice.
