Cities like London often looked like this:
The pollution prompted laws like the Clean Air Act in the United States, but American cities had serious air-pollution problems well into the late 20th century. These photographs from a federal project to document pollution show the smoggy skylines of major American cities (Cleveland, LA, and New York) in the early 1970s.

John Rogers Cox - Gray and Gold - 1942- (Cleveland Museum of Art)
[HISTORY OF ART]
* * * * *
To what does the soul turn that has no therapists to visit? It takes its trouble to the trees, to the riverbank, to an animal companion, on an aimless walk through the city streets, a long watch of the night sky. Just stare out the window or boil water for a cup of tea. We breathe, expand, and let go, and something comes in from elsewhere. The daimon in the heart seems quietly pleased, preferring melancholy to desperation. It���s in touch.
