Blue skies are becoming as rare as pink unicorns here, so this is what I am usually seeing from my balcony when I wake up in the mornings. At the bottom you can see how it looks when the weather is right and the wind sweeps away the smogg.
When I see this smoggy sky I usually ask myself if I I still sleeping ? I need to pinch myself. Unfortunately I always discover I am not sleeping I.. Some have to see it with their own eyes to believe it. Well trust me the pollution here in China is this bad.
On a good day though when the wind is just right you can see a blue sky. Those days I am filled with hope and happy throughout the day. Below you can see how the same view looks on a non smoggy day.
Below is another comparison from another view of my apartment.
The government have started taking drastic measures to cut down on pollution, and it is slowly getting better.
Hope you are having or will have a blue sky Friday! Steem on :)
My God! I see why you would think you're still sleeping, the smog is surreal. It's tragic that clear blue skies are that rare. But you have good views so that must help :)

I'm going back to Sweden next year :) Each time I went back recently I miss it more and more. Do you feel like you would want to go backroad your home country in the future ?

I know the feeling. I have been back once since I was a kid, so it was amazing going back as an adult. Actually, I could move back tomorrow if I had the chance, but it's a little complicated. My hometown is Mogadishu, but it has not been stable (safety wise) since the early 90s. And if there's no safety or peace, it can't be home :(

Safety is definitely a priority! I wonder how the world will look like in the future, will the world have less or more problems ? Sometimes I worry it's the ladder.. But of course I hope for the better

Absolutely! I think problems won't decrease, but maybe the type of problems will change just as where the problems will arise. So maybe there will more problems and instability in the West and people will immigrate to Africa or other continents! The world works in circles so the tables could shift overnight.

You are absolutely right, things donswitch like this and that's why I think it's very important to always be humble. Tables can turn on us quickly.
When I arrived in China 15 years ago I told my friends that China will take over, and how can we possibly keep up with this pace? Everybody laughed at me and look at China today. Africa is next in line and some parts in Africa are now developing much faster than anywhere else. Europe on the other hand I am afraid to say is falling apart

Hi, @dandesign86, beautiful picture I really love the shape of the building like an Indian Tipi. And the special mention for your second picture with the fog. It looks like a scene from "Blade Runner" the first one of course. Tomorrow heading to Hong Kong early morning at Victoria Peak looks alike. Thanks.
