Cold Morning

Scottsbluff has a sugar beet processing plant. Normally you only see what is coming out of the smoke stack. The temp this morning was in the single digits and the wind was calm (very unusual for here). When the conditions are like this the smoke and all the steam coming off the plant are visable and just hang in the air. This was shot from several miles away and cropped to about 60% of the original.

Richard,
This is a great perspective of the plant and the surrounding landscape. It appears that the plant is engulfed by the smoke.
A bit of clock wise rotation is needed IMO.

Its an interesting image. Fantastic light. Needs a slight tilt. It looks like the plant is on fire.
