Optical photographs of highly-tilted, dust-rich nearby spiral galaxies like NGC253 have revealed numerous vertical dark filaments which we call vertical dust jets (VDJ). The VDJ exdend more than a few kpc from the disk in an almost coherent manner, while they are as thin as a few tens of pc. They are most likely due to boiling-steaming galactic disk, which ejects gas into the halo. The coherency suggests that VDJ trace large-scale poloidal magnetic lines of force.
