Yesterday's fog was the heaviest out of three days' worth of misty mornings and created some stunning cityscapes that were captured by Wuhan Evening News photographers. Here's a selection, beginning with a front-page photo that resembles a traditional landscape painting:  Ma Qing / WEN  Yang Tao / WEN  Cai Xiaozhi / WEN  Jiefang Park - Yang Tao / WEN  Jin Siliu / WEN The Changjiang Daily, a sister paper to the Wuhan Evening News, published its own gallery of images. Here's the unearthly photo that ran on the front page:  Tian Fei / Changjiang Daily Links and Sources

Comments on A city in the clouds
The only one to me is the park one. The others I just feel they should be blowing up somehow.
I wanted to say beautiful, but on second thought, no, this is just eerie.
This is my home city. I have never seen it in such fog or smog. in fact it looks horrible to me. hope it will clear up.
Dallas was the opposite this morning - link
Does anyone know how to get better quality photos? I cannot speak Chinese :\
The newspaper does not seem to provide higher-quality photos, and I didn't find any other galleries during the brief search I performed while doing this write-up. Sorry.
it's just smog
