Before and After

Hard to believe that a little more than a year ago, this is what Lakeview Generating Station looked like from the water. The station is beside our Yacht Club and they have been working on the site for more than a year. The smokestacks are now long gone and the building is gradually being hauled away. They say this is one of the biggest demolitions in Canadian history. The picture below was taken Sunday from approximately the same spot as the one above it. The plant is now hardly visable from the lake. Although everyone acknowledges the facility was an eyesore, it sure made navigation easy on the lake. At this rate the whole thing will be gone by haulout.
