Shadows of smoke

On chilly winter mornings, the smoke from nearby buildings is a visible and constant presence.

And it's thick enough to leave it's own shadow! This image is heavily cropped from the original, which leaves it a little big grainy. I really wanted to clear out the clutter and noise though of the other buildings to focus on the great shadows that are cast by the moving smoke. The view is constantly changing as the wind shifts just a little, the sun rises a bit further... lovely! This was taken in the warm glow not long after sunrise.
