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

A chain-link gate in the foreground blocks access to a snow-covered residential street. Behind the gate, small houses with snow on their roofs are visible, along with leafless trees and power lines. A yellow diamond-shaped traffic sign is attached to the fence, and utility poles lean slightly under the weight of cables. The setting appears quiet and deserted.
