At a first glance, I thought something wrong was going on at the Dow factory on Dec 15 2017, because the sky colored intensely orange when most of the sunset glow was already gone. But it seemed the Dow guys were burning of waste gases like never seen before. So very big flames coming out of the burners, lighting up the vapors which also were much more pronounced than usual, resulting into an inferno like scene.
I have been living here for a little over 2 years now and this was the only evening I saw something like this. Or maybe it was intentionally done to get us used in case of a serious accident?

Auch wenn mir die Mischung von Realität und Fiktion nicht so zusagt, ist die Aufnahme der nächtlichen Stadt sehr gelungen.

Reminds me immediately of the film in my youth "The Towering Inferno" - spectacular great panorama work, Mentor !!!
