Buildings are seen through thick haze in downtown Shanghai

Buildings are seen through thick haze in downtown Shanghai November 7, 2013. Chinese cities should close schools, cut working hours and stop outdoor activities during the most severe spells of air pollution, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said on Wednesday. " Every possible compulsory measure" must be taken to cut emissions during the heaviest smog, which has a serious impact on health, the ministry said, including suspending factory production and imposing traffic restrictions.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of downtown Shanghai, shrouded in a thick haze on November 7,2013. The image showcases towering buildings emerging from the dense smog, symbolizing both the city's progress and its struggle with severe air pollution. In response to this environmental crisis, the Ministry of Environmental Protection issued a stern directive urging Chinese cities to take drastic measures during periods of intense smog. The ministry emphasized that every possible compulsory measure should be implemented to reduce emissions and combat the hazardous effects on public health. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the urgent need for action against air pollution. It highlights how extreme measures such as closing schools, reducing working hours, and restricting outdoor activities are necessary steps towards safeguarding citizens' well-being. The visual impact is intensified by Aly Song's skillful composition and use of light. Through his lens, we witness an ethereal scene where buildings appear almost ghostly amidst the hazy backdrop. This juxtaposition evokes contemplation about humanity's impact on nature and prompts us to reflect upon our responsibility in preserving clean air for future generations. Overall, this thought-provoking image not only documents a specific moment in time but also conveys a powerful message about environmental consciousness and collective action against pollution in urban landscapes like Shanghai.
