Metallic Jet Powered Cloud

Finally found a copy of this photo - first published in the Evening Standard in early Jan, taken by photographer Alisdair Macdonald. It's a digital composite photo taken over 1 hour of the sky over a housing block in Hounslow, next to Heathrow airport. An amazing view of a huge metallic jet powered cloud, constantly hovering over London.
