Sundog is on both sides, just using the steam to tone down the brightness of the sun for higher dynamic range, to allow the colours of the sundog to photograph better.

It's not really steam either -- it's a sign of really cold air causing the natural gas furnace exhaust to condense rapidly. The exhaust wouldn't normally be visible.

It's quite cold here. Currently -20°C on the ground and certainly much colder as you go upwards.
