    ^They are from my hometown where I lived for 21 years before moving to a big city for 11 years. I then lived abroad for over ten years, and returned here a few years ago from abroad. A place to rest and regenerate.

    ^ The tower spewing fumes from the chemical factory most definitely gives the picture a certain Je ne sais quoi as far as rest and regeneration is concerned.

    ^No, that is a defunct paper mill and all that is left standing is that tower. The thing that looks like smoke is the cloud.
    Both my grandfather and my father worked at that papermill all of their lives.

    Surprised the area hasn't been turned into trendy flats. That's usually the way these days.

    ^The ground and surrounding water is radioactive. The mill spewed disgusting chemical and smells into the air until it closed in 2006.

    ^I don't know what your issue is with me, but it is really sad you are so ignorant and rude to me all over this forum. You also sent me a red saying my photos suck? Tells me a lot about you actually when I've done nothing to you. If you don't like my photos, then why bother looking and making rude comments? I never claimed I was a professional, but I sure enjoy what I do. You seem really jealous actually of everything I post on this forum by your rude and very ignorant comments on most of what I post. You don't deserve a reply anymore, back on ignore ya go. By the way, why don't you go be nice to everyone else and extremely rude to me.

    Most ill-informed people assume that what they see is bad when infarct it is probably only condensing water vapour. You'll get the same response if you posted a picture of a cooling tower.

    Seeing as oil is at something like $1 a barrel and pulp is still at about $850 a ton. Who will be laughing in the ling run.

    Radioactive? Really? Interesting. From what? Was there a nuclear plant there?


    (There's no mention of radioactivity or anything nuclear in that link)

    That would certainly make it a highly unusual mill.

    It was a well known mill in Canada, known for fine quality letterhead stock and nuclear warheads. Unfortunately they folded as letterhead sales have been down since email became popular.

    Anyone who worked there would be acclimatized to the slightly sulphurous odour and called it "The smell of money"

    BTW. In my opinion the smell emitted by oil refineries is worse.

    ^I don't know about oil refineries, but this smell was absolutely putrid like rotten eggs. It was such a breath of fresh air when it closed down, but many lost jobs. My dad was close to retirement age, so he did okay.

    It was known as a pulp and paper mill. They are smokestacks. I believe there were three of them, but now only one remains standing.
    The land isn't really radioactive (but many say that).. it is more that it is contaminated and they've been talking about what they are going to do with the land for years, but I'm not sure if it is really cleaned up properly yet. Latest I've read is this..

    Contaminated is not the same as radioactive.

    Are these the same people who complain about the 'windshield' factor in winter?

    Another common expression in your part of the world, by your account.

    Thank goodness for that. What about the surrounding water?

    I'm going to ignore the trolls and riff raff and post these for the few people that can appreciate nature.
    Summer is now in full swing here.. we just had a 7 day bout of 30 plus temps which is unusual for here, but I'm not complaining.
