Minolta Hi-Matic AF2 | Fuji 400 Filmstock In a square crop because I love album covers that are just a photograph and it felt like one to me.

I really like this picture. For me it has a surrealist still life quality.

This has a Toronto Island feel to it. Where is it?

I've been in that area before so I can definitely see what you mean! This is at the La Cygne reservoir in Linn County, Kansas, the plant across the lake is the main power generation plant for Kansas City, MO and the lake itself is the artificial cooling reservoir for it. I always thought it was strange how beautiful the lake is even though it's only there to serve a big coal power plant. When I was growing up in the area back in the late 90s-early 2000s I would know we were getting close to home when I saw the old red and white smoke stacks across the lake,, they've since either been repainted or removed and replaced entirely though but old pictures on google show how it used to look back then. Took my girlfriend on a little road trip down there this summer to show her around and got this when we stopped for lunch in the county park/campground that's also there.
