With the Sky Blue Sky
Wilco aside, something pretty remarkable happened today: I opened the curtains this morning to find blinding, beautiful blue skies. And let me say: when the smog clears, this city is really something to see.Above, that's the scene from the Olympic Stadium about an hour ago, around sundown in Beijing. There's less than a month left until the Games start, and I don't think it's too soon to look at that sky above the stadium and wonder what fireworks -- figuratively and literally -- we'll see there in just a few weeks.
One more photo from a packed Saturday at the Great Wall (and more from the Great Wall coming this Monday):
