Part of the dump in Mountain Village, Alaska. The locals have just set aside an area to throw everything away without much attempt at controlling pollution. You can see the Yukon River in the background. Every year the river floods and takes some of the garbage with it. It was just an awe inspiring amount of trash for a village of 800 odd people

After selling my photograph of an abandoned trolley a few years ago, I'm always on the lookout for other lonely, unloved trolleys...
This site in Watertown, Mass., was used as a staging facility for the leftover metals from the manufacture of armor-piercing rounds, which were made of spent uranium. The tailings were trucked to the site in oil and burned in order to stabilize them, and then shipped off-site for disposal. The site is now being cleaned up after decades of PCB's and other toxic crap leaching into the soil.
The men's latrine at Cockatoo Island, Sydney. Newspaper kindly provided for free .... This place was blocked off (but not very efficiently). Did wonder about how I could explain my way out of this one ...... 'But it's art, Officer!' might not go down very convincingly in Oz.
The easily maneuverable Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle (FMTV) 10-ton dump carries more material in fewer loads, all while retaining mobility on- and off-road.
Toronto's garbage strike stinks! Literally. Today they closed down a couple of these "temporary dump sites" because they were over capacity and opened up 3 more, one of which is in the middle of a residential area. From where I shot these photos, it STUNK, so I wouldn't be very happy either if I were those residents.

When I went to the car it looked like it had snowed overnight. It turned out to be ashes from the Lockheed Fire near Santa Cruz. For the next several days I saw convoy after convoy of fire trucks bringing in crews from all over California. I also saw the helicopters running a bucket brigade to try to get the fire under control, very impressive.
