Is that smoke, or just getting up a head of steam? The industrial stacks visible from the office window stand out some days, other days barely raise a ripple (some of my classes can be like that, but that's a story for another day).
They can act a bit like a weather vane too, showing us which way the breeze is blowing. Doesn't show us how cold it is though. And today was a cold one, so cold in fact, I expected the late afternoon clouds to offer a few flakes of snow just on commuting time...

...it didn't quite reach that point in the end, but it felt like it. The snow in Tokyo can't be too far away now.
