Backyard of an abandoned Love Canal home
Subject
Abandoned houses
Hazardous waste sites
Description
A grassy yard featuring a small plastic rocking horse and a low circular stone border in the foreground. Two single-story blue houses with boarded-up windows and doors are visible in the background. A picnic table and outdoor grill sit near the buildings. The trees are leafless, suggesting late fall or early winter, and the overall scene appears quiet and uninhabited. This image shows how near children played to toxic waste.
