my sister and i ended up at the harris filtration plant at the beaches as it was one of the buildings that was opened to the public this weekend. it was fascinating to learn what the lake water goes through ending up in our drinking glass at the table. for the faint of heart, you probably wouldn't want to know or see the process. but when i asked the tour guide "but don't our sewage go to the lake?" i think i must've made everyone look at the water they were drinking. of course the sewage is processed before it goes to the lake! but even then....
in any case this was the view from the higher part of the filtration building. i had to linger for quite a while as going down the steps was not fun when you have a bad knee. going up wasn't so bad but i heard a lot of whining and grunting from those behind me. we were going up and down single file.😂
@delboy207 - it is lake ontario, one of the five great lakes in north america. the great lakes are the largest group of freshwater lakes on Earth by total area and are second-largest by total volume, containing 21% of the world's surface fresh water by volume, with certain sea-like characteristics in the mid-east region of North America that connect to the Atlantic Ocean via the Saint Lawrence River.
I'm not sure how Rochester and Toronto line up but I imagine we could have waved to one another! I was really fascinated with how much the lake shore felt like the ocean shore. It's definitely a beautiful body of water. Nice catch!
