Sudbury Superstack


"The girls are out to Bingo and the boys are gettin' stinko,
And we think no more of Inco on a Sudbury Saturday night."
- Stompin' Tom Connors

Sudbury, a boom-and-bust town at the gateway to northern Ontario, has long been considered on of the icons of blue-collar. On the way back from Lake Superior, I took this shot of the stack against the a wall of clouds. INCO is one of the worlds largest nickel producers. This "superstack" sends all polluntants into the sky high enough so it bypasses Canada and heads out across the Atlantic. It's our little gift to Europe.

This is a good follow-up as an example from my "Emulating Black and White" post a while back.

More b&w from the trip here.
