Love Canal Chemical Waste Landfill (Niagara Falls, N.Y.)
Description
A large, eroded ditch with steep, uneven dirt walls and sparse vegetation. Two children are standing at the bottom, one holding an object aloft, while the other stands nearby. Discarded items, including a bicycle wheel, are scattered within the ditch. The surrounding area features single-story houses with lawns, parked cars, and a calm residential setting. The ditch appears dry, with patches of overgrown grass and shrubs.
