Edward Burtynsky takes some impressive photos. Photos showcasing the unimaginable scale of human undertakings, in all their obscene glory. They’re just as beautiful as they are frightening.
I don’t think my photographs are neutral but they do allow a multiplicity of meanings. Burtynsky
I drove through Butte (MT) about two weeks ago now, there was a huge hole in a mountain that just blew my mind. The Berkeley Pit is a huge mining crater filled with groundwater that is so polluted with traces of metal that in 1995 a flock of geese landed there, and all 342 of them died. But there’s a monster dog who manages to survive on the site.
