    The smog was unbelieveable in Beijing. The grey here is not rain or cloud, but thick smelly smog. The stadium however, was pretty cool.

      Wow, that does look quite thick. It is a very atmospheric picture though. Well done.

      It captures the mood of the grey hazy construction days before the Olympics. Nice!
