That's a clear vs. smoggy day picture of Beijing, and with 4 months left until the Olympics, the government is putting all construction projects on hold to help try and clear the air for the event. They've also told steel, power and other "dirty" industries to cut back production in the coming weeks, and have even planned it so that by now, almost all of the Olympic construction is already done. China is, very literally, letting the dust settle in an attempt to pretty up the city. Incredible. The New York Times has the story here.
