New York City operates the largest steam system in the world, with 105 miles of steam pipe running beneath the streets. Whether from maintenance repairs or outside water failing on the hot pipes, steam can often be found rising up through manholes covers or temporary chimneys. Combine this with some rain and lots of wind after dark, and you get an awesome atmosphere for photos.
