Substation at Bayridge and Pembina. The structure's made of wood, which isn't something you'd usually see.

I tried to use "erode" and "dilate" filters to remove the chainlink fence in the foreground. Erode will shrink dark objects, and dilate will shrink white objects. In effect, applying an erode N times will remove dark features that are less than N pixels in width.

If you apply an erode N times, then a dilate 2*N times, then another erode N times, the result will be a morphological smoothing which removes any bright or dark features less than N pixels.

It didn't really work because so much detail is obliterated... but the chainlink is gone! (Mostly.)
