Here's a quick kite aerial photography job on the east side of Waupaca. Most of Waupaca is an old city, with many trees and powerlines. It's hard to maneuver a kite string in places like that. There was some space in the newest part of the industrial park, and even then the wind direction was important to stay downwind of the big feeder lines to the foundry.
The first view is looking east at Highway 54 overpass and a spur to a scrap metal yard. |

Waupaca Materials receives landscaping stone and puts it in consumer-size store bags. The series of conveyors would be for screening and cleaning rock. I would guess an end loader would position the cars over the dumping pit. The bagged rock is shipped out by truck. There is one conveyor to put some materials back into hoppers. I don't know if that colorful yellow track on the upper left is a car scale, it is on the spur to the next scrap metal yard. |

Further west is the other scrap metal yard. And to the upper left is Waupaca Foundry No. 2, the big plant. |
| In the hazy distance is Waupaca Foundry No. 1 near the downtown. |
