Industrial Wasteland?
No, I don’t see this as a wasteland. I like the image. Soft coloring – simple, plain maybe but not stark. It’s a postcard depicting Richland Washington, no date. But it’s actually part of the Hanford site where plutonium was produced for use in the atomic bomb. So in a way it has sinister overtones given the terrible destruction caused by atomic weapons. We live in the nuclear age, alas.
