The coal power plant in Boulder. It seems ironic that such an ecologically progressive city would have the dirtiest form of electricity generation possible.
Photoshop raw conversion -> curves, a bit with levels.

Clever title! I think that this would have been better if the part of the sky where the wire shows was cropped out. I know thats where a lot of the grey smoggy stuff is but i think that tower of smoke is aenough pollution to make this photograph work. I love the lighting and reflection and I'm glad the foreground is so dark, that way it doesn't distract from your subject and shows where the emphasis is clearly.
Nice control of exposure on the lighting. Horizon is a bit tilted to the left. Composition is a tad centered. Was there not another viewpoint for this where you could get more skyline (without the powerline) and less foreground? Perhaps even zooming in more (or crop if you have to)?
