    Beauty in The Beast

    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.
