Quantex Facilities Toronto
The site was formerly an oil re-refinery operated by Canadian Oil that was a fully owned subsidiary of Shell Oil Company. Re-refining services ceased operations several years ago and the site was taken over and revamped in the spring of 1999 by Quantex. It is currently operates as a waste treatment facility.
When Quantex assumed operations at the site there were approximately ten million litres of liquid waste that had been abandoned by the previous operators.

The reflections in the water make this shot for me. Did you get into the property?

You found a wet, rusty muddy place risen from the dead and turned its lead into gold in a blink of photographic alchemy. Bravo.

There is something so contradictory between the warm and glowing look of the tanks and the knowlege of what they contain.

Could the liquid waste have turned everything into solid gold? This is just stunning!
