Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill (Niagara Falls, N.Y.)
Description
The image shows a cluster of run-down residential buildings, with boarded-up windows and signs of abandonment. A single parked car is in the middle of the complex, and scattered litter and debris are visible across the yard and sidewalk, including a child's toy near the curb. The area appears neglected and unmaintained, suggesting disuse or evacuation. Trees frame the scene, and the sky is overcast.
