lumpenprol Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 It's really smog. I'd say it looks like that about 1/3 of the year, another 1/3 is slightly better than that, with the rest varying degrees of clear. Here's how it looks on one of the approximately 15 super clear days a year: Before I moved to Shanghai I never imagined a city existed that could be this polluted. I've often felt that all you'd need to do to convince global leaders of the dangers of pollution and climate change would be to fly them to Shanghai. On the other hand, most nights it looks just like Blade Runner, which makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autopilot Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 I love the contrast in that second photo. It's like, a futuristic city off in the distance, and you're in the dingy, run down residential area. [edit] @ lumpy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lumpenprol Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 Someone should build a skyscraper that, when viewed from the correct angle from the ground, creates an optical illusion like those sidewalk chalk artists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
