CFUtowerI shot this photo because I loved the way the rising sun created the pink glow that colored the smoke/steam coming up out of these towers. Years ago I fell in love with the paintings of Charles Sheeler (1883-1965), an artist who helped me come to appreciate hulking manufacturing plants—rust and all. I loved the precision of his brush line and the way he pulled beauty out of what is often though of as ugly.

I still can’t stand coal fired power plants and I’m happy that my local utility is taking measures to clean up their act and use bio-mass fuels instead of nasty mercury spewing coal.
