Two questions about this photo from an entry in Atlantic Magazine writer James Fallows’s wonderful blog:
- Do you notice anything unusual about this cityscape?
- Can you name the country in which this photo was taken?
Answers after the break.
A closeup reveals the answer to the question one:
Every roof in this city is festooned with solar hot water heaters.
And what city is it? Answer: Kunming, capital of Yunnan Province in southwestern China. You know China. That’s the country we think of as grotesquely polluted and recklessly irresponsible about energy use. Hmmm.
