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

Dozens of cylindrical metal barrels, primarily black, blue, and white, are arranged in multiple rows on wooden pallets along a dirt surface. Many of the barrels show visible signs of rust and wear. The setting is an open, flat area with minimal vegetation, likely an industrial site or cleanup zone. In the background, a red flatbed trailer is parked, and there are trees and brush beyond the cleared area.
