Pruned: Turkey Point Canals

(From Over: The American Landscape at the Tipping Point, a collection of aerial photographs by Alex S. MacLean, comes this image of the canals of Turkey Point Nuclear Generating Station in Homestead, Florida. They “act like giant radiator to cool the water that travels 168 miles in 40 hours before it is circulated back to the condenser for reuse,” explains McLean. They're also part of a wildlife preserve for rare American crocodiles. See also: Double Park.)
