Steam rising between construction fences in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on a freezing winter night.
Steam rising between construction fences in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on a freezing winter night.

Steam billows through a fenced construction site in Minneapolis on a night when the temperature fell to fifteen below zero. The cold turns warm air escaping from the site into a thick fog that hangs under the structure's open bay before dissipating into the night.
