Paper mill at full output. Mini3Pro at full zoom.

Very impressive shot Mr. B.    Is there any offensive odor coming from the paper mill?  I remember driving by a large paper mill years ago and the odor was terrible.

l've actually walked along the perimeter, by the river. No bad smells.

Good to know.  I'm guessing the one I drove was using some pretty nasty and maybe even toxic chemicals during their paper making process.

Pretty strict regulations on emissions, these days.

I see a gap for the Neo between those two streams of steam.

Even the Mini3Pro could get through there

Same here but it appears so large companies are able to get waivers (or maybe a lot of money exchanged hands under the table). In any case that place had an odor so bad I don't know how anybody lived nearby.  No doubt most residents of that little town must have worked at the stinky paper mill or else they would have moved on to avoid that smell.   

Quite the sight,    but I do wonder why they dont use it for something.

Nice shot Roger!

Recycling - it will add to the cloud layer and fall back as rain

Back to damp and dull today.

I fear so. Ibuprofen diet for today at least. My 160Kms for December may be in jeopardy

Thats only about 5km a day so you still could make it.

Ahh.  So some comfort in having them.

I was glad of them on that section, but they're a nuisance, generally.

We've thought about them,  and cant decide if they would be helpful to us or not.      And for SWMBOd I think it's a thing she has to come to the conclusion of.

Incidentally I broached the flood lit photo idea last night and she seems accepting of it.

She's not agreed a date yet for it,   but in principle she was OK with it,     she may not have thought it through fully.
