outfall

Iona Beach Park, Sea Island

despite cloudy weather moving in (this morning rain is falling fiercely). last night's brief visit here seemed peaceful enough...the irony though is that this artificial pathway is built on top of the effluent pipes from Vancouver's sewage treatment plant...you can see the rounded edges of the massive pipe...final outfall is several more kilometers out into the deep sea...supposedly waste emitted there is relatively benign and disperses quickly in ocean currents

Looks like a beautiful evening stroll. Peaceful. It is ironic this beauty is an indirect result of managing sewage. I agree with Glenn about benign sewage, but I think we're all doing it. The poor ocean. When it's gone, we're gone. Like the bees. Einstein said “If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live.”

A lovely scene as far as the eye can see. Piping sewage in the ocean should not be permitted..

Surreal scene with all these figures and with this moody lighting. Strong impact, you can see the silence. "V"

An interesting way to make something industrial into something natural. Beautiful light and colors in this scenic.

They had lemons, they made lemonade. An excellent use of the jetty. Good shot!

That's the busiest effluent pipe I've ever seen

Great image of the waste pipe converted into a walkway, love that sky.

A lovely image in this beautiful light! I had no idea they piped sewage into the ocean!
Brian Samuel11-Aug-2013 19:12
Love that pink sky. Who would think that this is a waste pipe.

Does make a beautiful setting;
as for benign in the ocean currents, that 'stuff' has to go somewhere.
Carol How11-Aug-2013 18:45
Seems there is always a price to be paid..... its a beautiful image even so... V

Fascinating! I've never seen anything like this and find it interesting that a pipe for sewage is a place for strolling on a pleasant evening. Nicely captured, David.
