Into The Smog - Cityskapephotography

in photography •  7 years ago 

Almost like a science fiction scene from a futuristic movie where pollution is out of control and we all have to wear masks. Only it's the reality in many cities in China. This photo was taken of the cityskape in Shanghai by the Bund.

The Chinese government is making big efforts to curb the pollution and it is now slowly improving. But switching from being a producing economy to becoming a service high technology focused economy is no easy task. Especially not when you have the biggest population on the planet. I have seen amazing changes take place here and I am sure that soon the environment will change as well.

This is my submission for #cityskapephotography initiated by @juliank.

Hope you all have a nice day - Steem on !

a cool picture still even I dont really want to be there.

I have seen a movie about bees and China had areas were human needed to pollinate the flowers. Scary stuff but as you answered in another comment, everyone wants cheap stuff but not the enviromental costs which come with it.

Yea this is pretty much the reason why I want to go home. The industrial impact on China will be felt for a long time.

That's crazy about the bees, and really scary. The eco system is very sensitive, one thing is dependent on the other and if even one component is unbalanced it can have a huge impact

Cool shot, looks like a shot from a movie poster

Thanks buddy ! Yea I looks almost like it's from blade runner

Wow, impressive.

I have always read the pollution of China makes the city always look like rain or forest days.

Greetings from Venezuela, impressive picture looks like a movie. I hope we can continue reading

I believe that the government of China should take action on the matter, as it damages the environment

Yes something had to be Done. But everyone has a responsibility because most of the products made in China are for foreign countries. They don't want the pollution so they put production in China. Everyone has to help

has a surreal scifi kind of feel real cool

tip!

Thanks man ! I was hoping it would be a clear day but those are hard to find these days

Maybe with time they will come when it’s clear more often

Yes hopefully the environment will improve quickly here - I have a feeling it will

That’s great

Looks like Blade Runner

Hehe I think so too !

Whoa that is brutal!

Yea it is rather alarming. But I have seen much worse unfortunately. Hopefully it will get better quickly

Nice Shot

Thanks !

Thanks !

Your photo is really cool! But the state of the air makes me feel kind of sad, hopefully things will change :)

Yea the situation is not so cool indeed. Hopefully it will get better very quickly :)

Great shot, air isn't looking too great though. I really want to go to China one day

Thanks ! You should definitely come one day and visit. They have a lot of awesome destinations to consider, not only the Great Wall but much more

What a day. It is mystical one eay or another
