Just for completeness of the travel report, but no good quality of this old scan. This is the old Canadian "Ontario Power Generating Station", now retired, and the "Skylon Tower" behind. The Skylon Tower is an observation tower that overlooks both the American Falls, and the larger Horseshoe Falls, from the Canadian side of the Niagara River. It was built 1964-1965 and is 160 m tall. scanned slide, Minolta X700 - minor quality

Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Generating Stations are two hydroelectric generating stations in Niagara Falls, Ontario, all owned by Ontario Power Generation. Following the development of several smaller generating stations around Niagara Falls in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the Province of Ontario authorized the construction of the first major publicly owned generating station in the province. At the time it was built, it was the largest hydroelectric generating station in the world. Adam Beck I was built in 1922, Adam Beck II in 1954. The stations divert water from the Niagara and Welland rivers above Niagara Falls which is then released into the lower portion of the Niagara River, and together produce up to 1997 MW. scanned slide, Minolta X700
