Picture of the Week #318 "Green Lights" Beijing, China 2014 Signed & Stamped

Everyone has heard of or experienced the pollution in China. Here is the main street heading towards the Forbidden City where you see just how bad it can be. But to be fair, this was at a time of day where the light was already fading. President Obama and other world leaders were coming for the Asian Pacific Economic Conference, so they closed the factories and turned off the Coal mines and in two or three days the skies were bright blue and showed how the climate of Beijing can be made livable. It seems they are working on cleaning up the air while still being able to be the world leader in providing so many things we use today.
