This shot is of Onondaga Lake, near Syracuse NY. The lake is one of the most polluted in the country due to decades of dumping by Allied Chemical. Tons of by products from soda ash were dumped into the lake including about 25lbs of mercury per day. It is now in the middle of 15 year, $1 billion cleanup.
The shot was taken by my father in the 1970's during Allied's hay-day and has always been one of my favorites. Unfortunately, the scan does not do it Justice.
