BEIJING -- Here’s the PhilCam view at 8 a.m. on Friday in Beijing. The report from blogger Philip Hersh: ‘Morning began as the clearest yet.’ But, as Hersh notes, ‘still no blue skies.’

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.

Here is the update. Philcam focuses in another direction. Blogger Hersh reports that the distant mountains are available for the first time in about a week.
