On that July day that's how my Western approach to Sudbury was.
I never said THE ENTIRE city of Sudbury was Mordor, just seeing the super smokestack and landscape from kilometres away it appeared to me that way

When the Superstack is demolished it will be a clear visual that air pollution in Sudbury is improving dramatically.
In Niagara, Inco (now Vale) the little sister plant to Sudbury (if you will)
had a 150m smokestack in Port Colborne. It was demolished around 1984 (if I'm not mistaken), and the air has been much cleaner since.
