Memories of Grandfather | Beautiful Cigarette Smoke Art

03/19/2010 - 5:00 am By Diana Adams

I’ve always thought smoke is beautiful. It’s memorizing to watch when it innocently floats through the air and then dissipates into nothingness.

I remember being a child and seeing my Grandfather’s cigarette smoke make unique designs when he exhaled. He never even noticed those designs, but I saw ever one, and I always thought they were so beautiful, almost as if they were alive.

It’s fascinating to me how the smoke can make elusive shapes full of twists and turns. Whether it is natural smoke or the Photoshop variety, I love it. Some people think smoke is a bad thing, symbolizing fire and danger, but I think it is truly beautiful. I hope you enjoy this smoke art as much as I have.

Thank you for the wonderful photos!

I remember watching my cousin smoking. He would exhale from his mouth, and somehow draw the smoke in again through his nose. Then he would blow smoke rings and send them drifting around the room as he told the most wonderful lies about his exploits with beautiful women… http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b209/spiritualtolerance/smokerings.jpg

Hi Brent! I’ve known people like that too; people that get really creative with their cigarette smoke. It’s a real treat, like watching a show or a magic act. Great picture. You are so much fun.

Good morning Diana

These are cool pictures of smoke.
It made me think of grandpa and his
pipe eating his baked apple he made for
me and than him telling me stories. I love the
smell of a pipe or cigar. Grandpa smoked both
and I loved to watch the smoke.
