Odorous Vapour Drifting Over A Common Liquid
Odorous Vapour Drifting Over A Common Liquid

Shot taken for Saturday Self Challenge -- 05/06/2021 ---------
Smoke and/or Steam .
I have a shot just right for the challenge with copious amounts of smoke and steam ( see first comment box ) - trouble is it was taken a couple of years ago . You can imagine how miffed I was on Wednesday to learn that the very same locomotive had steamed it's way very close to home on the previous evening - opportunity lost !!
Next idea was to visit the dry cleaners that I used to manage and take a shot of the steam gun in action - 60-80 pounds of steam to blast stains away on the spotting table - again only an idea that never came to fruition . Another lost chance was a fire in a multi-storey car park on Thursday where seven cars were destroyed - lots of billowing smoke there , but found out too late and anyway I think thaat would be too ghoulish and in bad taste .
Next my daughter suggested " Smoke On The Water " - now we are cooking ! A few trials and we end up with the shot above , one of those fragrant incense cones smoking away sat on a piece of bark with the resulting smoke drifting across the bird bath !!
This now leads us to my convoluted title , basically Smoke On The Water for a sight and sound . But if there is anyone out there who does not know the origins of the song , here is a link to tell how it came about ---------

And of course now - the iconic song itself---
