3 Nuclear Bomb goes off in Alaska?

Of course not. The title was just my version of click bait

. This is the smokestack exhaust (mostly water vapor) from the power plant in Healy Alaska. Coal, baby, coal. Burn what ya got I guess

. Interestingly this shows what I assume is two separate inversion layers.

It was a good example of the need for HDR. None of the individual AEB images looked decent.

Great job on making the HDR look natural as opposed to surreal!!! Surreal makes for nice posters, but sorely lacks for artwork.

It worked. I went for it. I would like to make a correction. What is coming out of that cooling tower is 100% water vapor. It is a cooling tower, not exhaust tower.
