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

A rusted metal barrel with faded orange and black paint sits on the ground near the edge of a body of water. The surrounding area is covered in dead leaves and debris. A crumpled paper bag lies nearby. The scene is viewed through a chain-link fence, which partially obstructs the foreground. The barrel appears aged and weathered, suggesting potential environmental concern.
