Currently, the northern part of China is experiencing tremendous wind storms from the north-western desert, which has tons of sand and strong wind. The meteorological department of Beijing has announced a orange alert for the residence of the Beijing Municipal which is next to the highest critical red color alert. I have seen some videos that shows the powerful wind that breaking many trees, some commodities on roof are flying, many vehicles, especially the two wheelers are blown away with such powerful wind. Even I have seen some people falling on the roads, and some were holding some pillars and trees to keep safe from blowing away by this strong wind storm currently.
The Huairou district where I am living is also located in the northern region which is also under the red alert with the strong wind. I have also seen such stronger winds here many times in this area but the news say that this strength of the wind is making a new record after 10 years, so I am little bit worried about the situation tomorrow. Today, the afternoon weather was very silent and calm, which is usually before the big storm, with a little rain in the evening but still no wind as the weather is still silent with little wind at the moment during the midnight, which is about to pass through this area in my calculation.
I have told already that the weather has been improved a lot in the Beijing city, especially the air quality is always so good here in current days. But there is a bad image of the sand storms of the city that was previously very prominent in Beijing. I have such experience already. I am going to show you some photos that I ahve taken recently in visiting a beautiful lakeside dam near the huarou city and the weather was like a sandy one. The sun was hiding behind the sandy surrounding and made an unique views near the Huairou reservoir and nothing was visible next to this large lake-like water reservoir.
From these pictures, you can see that the sun is hidden by a cloudy, dusty sky that is no longer blue and beautiful. Everything on earth looks less beautiful because the sky is so dusty. This is because the sun's rays are polluting the air. This time, it looks like nothing has any colour. The main thing that makes the setting of nature so beautiful and interesting is that there is no blue sky.
Nature looks very dull and sad, and everything seems to have lost its color. The weather is not as nice at this time of year if you want to visit some wild and beautiful places. But this type of view have another kind of charm that you can not always find; it will make you explore nature in a different way, as everything is a part of our mother earth. That this lake is close to Huairou, a beautiful spot close to the city where you can enjoy nature.
The sun is hidden by a dirty, hazy sky that is no longer blue, but in recent days. Most of the time, I have great air quality, a beautiful blue sky, and more attractive surroundings in this part of the city. I was missing that green and clear beauty, but this is another kind of surrounding that is due to the nearby desert in the northern area of Beijing.
From this location, almost the whole lake is visible, but the unfavorable weather made everything less visible, especially the mountains on the opposite side of the lake. Also, there are some tiny islands that are also very attractive and create great views of the surroundings, which were missing due to the sandy weather.
Some nearby residential apartment buildings were also visible from the peak point, and many new ones were under construction. I think from these apartment buildings the views of the lake would be more attractive and the renting would be higher in this surrounding residential area.
I hope you like my clicks of the sun in the white sky instead of blue sky during my nature exploration in a nearby natural scenic spot in the Huairou district which allowed me to explore some different natural beauty in this unwanted weather with air pollution and foggy and dusty surrounding. If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them as much as I can afford.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wish you a good day!
I took all the photos, and these are my own property.
