Can you smell what you see?

I don't know what kind of feeling does this photo conveys (for me the sunrise has a positive feeling but those electric poles and the fog look apocalyptic and convey a negative feeling) but one thing that it does not convey is the terrible smell. Usually canals like this are for water but by the smell of the place I'm pretty sure there was also sewage in this one. It helped with the looks of the photo but it made it hard for anyone to stand close to it and take a photo.
