Haze can be seen engulfing the National Stadium

Photographer David Gray went back to the Bird’s Nest on Tuesday to see if indeed there had been any improvement in the air quality, from a visiblity perspective at least, since the last time he took a picture from the same position. Top is the June 9 and bottom July 8. The result of the Gray Test? Marginally better.
