Good morning Beijing!
Arrived in Beijing last night, jetlagged. Woke up at about 3:30am. Took this photo at 6:30, about an hour and a half after dawn. (Read Ernest Hemingway while flying over Siberia, and strange things begin to happen to the number of clauses you’ll allow in a sentence.)
Beijing, morning, July 24, 2008
As the sun rises, the gray just gets brighter. It may be out later, as
it was when I arrived around sunset yesterday, a round and a sort of
desaturated yellow-orange, but with no power to change the permanent gray of the sky.
