Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill (Niagara Falls, N.Y.)

A row of small, single-story abandoned houses stands behind a chain-link fence in the Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill area, Niagara Falls, New York. The house in the foreground has its windows and door boarded up. The yard is overgrown and the driveway is cracked and uneven. A tree with dense green leaves stands just outside the fence along the sidewalk. The overall atmosphere suggests neglect and abandonment.
