Burtynsky mining photos

Here's a NYT article about Burtynsky's phenomenal photographs. 
"Stupefied giddiness, disbelief: these seem to be universal responses to open-pit mines." 
 "engineered landscapes that demonstrate, in visceral ways, our species's awesome capacity for problem-solving and how far we've come." 
"Open-pit mines are wounds we've inflicted, and the wonderment they excite easily becomes tinged with pangs of remorse or dread." 

"engineered landscapes that demonstrate, in visceral ways, our species's awesome capacity for problem-solving and how far we've come." 


Beautiful photos of landscape destruction - poignant.
