R.L.Hearn Power Plant
R.L. Hearn Generating Station, built in 1951 and abandon in 1983. The plant burned coal, but as time progressed, some of the coal boilers had been replaced to burn natural gas. The Hearn plant also had the tallest smoke stack (705 ft) in all of North America, however it lost its title when the Inco Superstack (1,247 ft) was built in Sudbury. The Plant closed down due to a number of reasons. One being air pollution in the Toronto area and the slowly aging equipment. Since then this building has sat and battled with the elements. For one exploring this place, it really gives you an idea as to what it takes to produce power for our city.

Brickworks In The Light
Here are some shot's from the Brickworks once again. With HDR and lovely lighting that put this set to the top of my list, moving the bar up to a new level.
I took a morning out of my day to come back and see whats new. Not much has changed at all since I was last there. I was thinking that the crew had started to restore, but I don't think there planning to until another week or two. (But don't take my word on that matter) The place had been cleaned up meaning there wasnt much decay and was missing some character. Non the less it was a fun trip and I got some nice shots. That’s my day in a nut shell.
Any way
Enjoy this set for thee will be my last and my last will start my beginning.
