 By 1904, Thomas "Carbide" Willson had purchased 460 acres at Meech Lake. There he built his summer residence, but it is the ruins of the dam, generating station and acid condensation tower that you see today. The super-phosphate fertilizer plant was the first of its kind in the world. In fact, Patrick Farrell had already built a dam here at the start of Meech Creek for his sawmill.

First thing i thought when i saw this shot was that i would liked to have seen more of the building in this shot, and maybe used a different, more interesting perspective, maybe closer to the building, not really sure, but i think that that would add a whole lot to the shot.

I bet this would have been spookier/cooler in black and white or as a duotone.

I like how you captured the water. The only thing is that was taken in the shadows and it doesnt stand out much due to it.
