Human Nature

While I was out getting photos of nature the other day, it was hard to avoid the obvious photos of what people have done to the landscape. This is just one of three trailers burned down that has just sat on its lot for years.
I was on a scenic road and saw a little turnoff to the river bank. I figured in my head that is would be a nice little clearing for picnics and whatnot, but instead it was just piles of trash, old mattresses and broken bottles. What a waste of such a beautiful view of the river.
I was told that originally these old cars were piled next to the river to stop erosion. I can't help but wonder what the rust an chemicals have done to the water that they seeped into.
