BEIJING -- What did PhilCam capture at about 5 p.m. on Friday in Beijing?

‘An absolutely perfect evening with blue sky and pink sunset,’ is how blogger Phil Hersh described his view of the Bird’s Nest (above) and of a tower to the left of the Beijing National Stadium (below).

The Beijing Municipal Environmental Protection Bureau website has relevant air pollution data. The Chaoyang District is home to the Olympic Green, where much of the Olympic action will occur. Rowing will be contested in the Renhe Town station in the Shunyi District.
