Nuclear – possibly local – gets a boost from Turco

Massachusetts should consider a more aggressive approach to nuclear power plant construction, perhaps even including one on Deer Island if the technology and location meets scientific muster, state…

Deer Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Complex, Deer Island MA photographed from Buck Hill.

I previously posted a shot of the 'Deer Island Eggs', but this is a wider shot showing the entire Deer Island Complex catching a sunbeam on an otherwise overcast day. Deer Island is the second largest sewage treatment plant in the United States. The plant is a key part of the program to protect Boston Harbor from pollution from sewer systems in eastern Massachusetts

St Joseph's Church, 115 Union St, Lynn MA photographed from Buck Hill. The olive green spire is a little hard to pick out against the brown background and the tip of the spire only just rises above the land behind it.

In front of the church is the Harbor Loft Apartments, 7 Liberty Square, Lynn MA. To the left of that is a fuel storage tank, National Grid, 277-399 Blossom Street Ext, Lynn MA. To the right of the church on the horizon is a water tower, 15 Colby St, Salem MA.

This photo is a great example of the stripes of land and water that form Boston Harbor. The first strip of land below has several houses visible, inclusing several on Lorean Terrace that are in Winthrop MA. The next strip of land is part of the runway for Logan Internation Airport, East Boston MA and to the left of frame a Jet Blue airliner can be seen. Below that is Castle Island, with a view of parts of Fort Independence. While most of the fort is behind trees, the structure can be made out through the bare branches. Below that is Head Island which has what looks like a lookout tower at the tip.
