   Looking at the original size it looks even more like a dandelion seed head.

   *gasp* I think you have smog on your lens.
   Really I do! I think I’m seeing double… double dots just to the right of the middle of the tower. =)

   Yeah, it’s smog, the great light diffuser. Not seeing the sun (as a natural rhythmic cue) makes the experience surreal – like being in a casino. =)

   They are going to try to clear the air for the Olympics by shutting down the nearby power plants for a few weeks. If it works, I wonder how the local people/politicians will respond once they know it could be better… A glimpse of the sun could be enlightening
