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

A small stream curves through a landscape of bare trees and shrubs, with muddy banks and sparse vegetation near the Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill site, Niagara Falls, New York. The surrounding brush appears dry and dormant, suggesting a colder season. The scene is quiet and overcast, with no visible structures or people. Photographed by Penelope D. Ploughman.
