Interesting to me, as I live a couple of hours away from Treece, and have 
been following the problems there in the local paper. Getting that site 
remediated was a problem because of political problems (that's a euphemism 
for stupid state politicians). That part of Kansas and adjoining parts of 
Oklahoma were mined for minerals like lead, and the areas is honeycombed 
with mines. There were also open pit coal mines, but most of them have been 
allowed to fill with water and  are now a "mined land wildlife area." Hope 
fish and birds like a little lead in their water. No mention has been made 
locally about a photog from Brooklyn has recorded this, but there is at 
least one museum that would probably show her work.

Very Kodakchrome-like palette. Not my cup of tea, though. Thanks for
sharing.
Cheers
