The View West

factories along Lake Ontario
Jesus light at sunset over Dupont

I caught this shot the other week, before the thaw which turned much of Lake Ontario to that spongy grey ice one step away from lolly. The factory in the foreground are the Dupont nylon and research plants with their 1200 jobs. In the background farther west down the shore you can see the LaFarge plant (concrete or asphalt) as well as the stacks of the Ontario Power Generation plant south of Napanee about 30 km to the west. Amherst Island sits on the horizon to the left of the picture. The Lake and the St. Lawrence River are lined with industry dependent on cheap bulk shipping for either materials in or products out.

Later: a definition of “lolly” can be found at my new best friend, the American Meteorological Society’s Glossary of Meteorology.
