Smelter Chimney Plume at Dawn Over Lusaka in beside a blast furnace near Lusaka

Smelter Chimney Plume at Dawn Over Lusaka

by James Portillo

Grey steel structures loom against a pale, overcast sky as wet season rain falls in a fine, steady drizzle. A massive industrial chimney stack dominates the frame, releasing a thick plume of white and grey smoke that drifts low and heavy across the horizon. The blast furnace sits nearby, its dark, rusted metal surfaces slick with moisture and reflecting the soft, diffused light of first dawn. Water beads on the corrugated roofing and runs in thin rivulets down the vertical beams. The ground is churned mud, dark and saturated, mirroring the dull tones of the machinery. A puddle in the foreground shows a distorted, shimmering reflection of the smoke column rising into the grey morning air.
