Trail B.C. Smelter

This zinc and lead smelter is the lifebood of the small town of Trail, British Columbia. It is the reason for the existence of this town. In the early 90s the smelter was changed to hydro electric power and coal was retired. The environment immediately improved. Most of what you see coming from the smokestacks is steam.

This photograph is SOOC. The two large smokestacks look as though they have been processed in to the picture. It looks a little strange but this is how it looked to the camera.
