Missoula, MT: July 24, 2011
Mining for copper in Butte, MT.
A large Virgin Mary overlooking Butte. We had seen two smaller ones on the way here.
The ecological disaster caused by the Anaconda copper company. In the refining process arsenic is used. The waste products were put in great piles, poisoning the streams and land for miles.
