This isn’t so much cool, atmospheric fog as it is extremely dense air pollution in the Chinese capital of Beijing. Just think : athletes will be running for 42km in the marathon through air of this quality if they don’t do something (like forbid anyone from driving a car or lighting a fire or burning coal for a couple of weeks during the Games)
The Beijing Tourist Board would probably want me to reassure everyone that it’s merely mist, ….but my bronchial tubes at the time begged to differ. (Hey, I’m not complaining – it made for a nice effect either way.)
Personally, one of your top best. A good example of the saying that do not need to squeeze yourself out to create beauty. Stunning oriental feel which is hard to describe. Most probbaly due to the man on the boat…So much air prespective that makes it ethereal. Thank you for stopping by.

What a great shot. I do hope that is mist and not really pollution.

Beautiful shot
what an amazing shot, the layers of the image look almost abstracted into different bands of grey, like a shadow or silhouette. It is really beautiful
Very nice shot!
