This is probably not smoke but rather night time mist/fog sifting into the canyon on a full moon night. I left the short meteor trail in the sky as I thought it added a little interest. All comments welcome.>=))>

Beautiful image Bill. The fog has a very ethereal effect. I like the starry starry night as well as the meteor trail.

I've really been enjoying your series Bill! This is another engaging photo. You might play with darkening it a bit to keep a more twilight feel.

Holy smoke! Could be the title! :biggrin:
Great atmosphere! As John mentioned, maybe a little darkening.

Pretty scene Bill, and I really like the way you composed it, as for everything else, perfect.

The fog gives this one a nice mystical feel to it. I agree with the other comments about experimenting with darkening to get a more twilight/evening feel to it.
