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

A rough, barren area with scattered debris including wooden planks and other unidentifiable materials. The ground appears uneven and possibly contaminated, with sparse tufts of grass growing near the edge. In the background, a tall wooden privacy fence runs across the scene. A structure is partially visible on the left side, suggesting a nearby building or enclosure.
