Nickel Tailings No. 30, Sudbury, Ontario 1996

 

As we progress with industrialization, the Earth is doomed to become a fool’s paradise. Photographer Edward Burtynsky reveals forth us the brutality of mankind caused to nature in the light of satisfying unlimited wants. The tailings of chemicals like nickel, uranium etc. illustrated in the achingly beautiful photos of Burtynsky magnifies the quadrupled wastage of society and its inadequate disposal. The modern world yearns success that would swell to grave consequences. Are we impugned to future generations?
