Modern-Day Sunrise

Whenever I see what looks like a pretty sunrise I have to jump in the car and head for the nearest place to view it. Unfortunately, the spot has the International Paper Company mill in the foreground. Since this is one of Springfield's largest employers, it is part of the landscape. This morning's sunrise shows more than one sign of modern-day civilization.

I think the paper mill and the output from the stacks are really what makes this such a wonderful image. The sunset color is beautiful but without the paper mill in the pic there would be no focal point. I really enjoyed looking at this image!

Will the Kyoto guys like this?I like the pic.

What beautiful colors! At least since it's a wood mill, most of what is seen is steam, not smoke.
Yvonne11-Mar-2013 10:43
Hardly a breeze to move the smoke away... certainly makes a spectacular scene Vern! v

I know what you mean, Vern about civilization marring a perfect image...
I have to really work know days for an unobstructed view of our Mountains...
You did catch a nice Sunrise...
Mike H.10-Mar-2013 22:13
That said, I like the sunrise tones, tree silhouettes, and contrails running by!
All of details came through with fidelity; nice one!
