The University of Alberta powerplant, the actual powerplant that makes energy not the bar, is right across the street from my house. In the summer the two silver and green chimneys are sickening spewing industrial grade smoke and smog into the air. Weird shifting shadows result. In the winter however mixed with the smoke is a great deal of steam and the chimneys are almost beautiful. Two columns of billowy clouds rising up playing, dancing, mixing and coming-up, expanding. Like pitchers of milk the smoke stacks spill and pour their contenance onto the sky. Today it was particularly resplendent skirting the nearly full moon. This afternoon they clouded out the sun, like a fabricator of clouds. At any rate this is kind of weird since when is industrial strength air pollution beautiful?
