Great Wall in Smog

The smog in Beijing reaches all the way up to the mountains north of the city where portions of the Great Wall of China can be visited. I have pumped-up the contrast in this shot to minimize the impact of the haze. What a shame that polution from development is as bad as it is. The Chinese people that I spoke with we OK with it up to now because their overall standard of living has improved materially. In the choice between owning a TV / car versus having clean air, seeing the sun through the smog loses.
