In the strangest places!! This is in a local SEWAGE LAGOON, which is an open "pond" type place where they treat it.(at least I think they treat it)..I crawled through the fence and found the most beautiful flowers etc...No, it didn't stink.

Lovely image Carolyn! Maybe they're using the natural water treatment methods? I've seen a few stories on PBS about these natural bogs being used to purify water. Regardless Marcie is probably right about them getting plenty of nutriants :0) #677253Bob Cammarata July 30, 2004
