Nasty black smoke. Maybe a vehicle or some sorts or a structure.

very dramatic - I like the second one.

Dramatic they are, all right. Wow!
The vapour trails of the airplanes, the low evening light, the clarity of the sky and then this black smoke ... really cool.
And it even indicates where there are different layers of air, since it can't seem to climb any higher but soon spreads horizontally. Cool.
