Description
A wide, cracked residential street extends into the distance, flanked by sidewalks, power poles, and lawns on both sides within the Love Canal neighborhood, Niagara Falls, New York. On the left, a row of leafless deciduous trees and evergreens lines the sidewalk. On the right, single-story houses with grassy yards are partially visible behind trees and shrubs. The sky is clear and blue, suggesting a spring or early fall season; photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
