Thank you.
I thought it was a beautiful example of this type of pollution -- clearly-defined at maximum extension before dissipating in the wind, and not some wispy brown fog but really BLACK soot shooting out at high speed.
Plus, there is an element of sarcasm, as in the person who might be sitting at that vantage point saying "Now, isn't that just beautiful?"
Dave Ross once proposed a simple engineering change which could bring about improved emissions-controls almost overnight -- simply mount the exhaust pipes in the front of the truck. |

| Very interesting shot, but I don't think this qualifies as beautiful in any way. If this had been a different topic I would have scored it higher, but this doesn't speak to beauty in my opinion. |

You really find such degree of pollution beautiful? I don't.
A snapshot (taken out of a car) of the back of other cars just doesn't say "beautiful" to me, and I can't even add points for effort :-(
I'll give you a 3 because it is in focus and recognizable. |

| I'm not seeing the "beauty" here. Maybe it's me, but black smoke just doesn't seem to fall into that category. <4> |
