Toxic attraction

4000 feet above Florida's mining refuse tailing ponds provide intrigue and awe. These ponds allow for sedimentation of solids from water and provide an array of abstract forms and colour. These images were taken from two ponds in Polk County and I have attempted to evoke a sense of wonder and perhaps thought about the environmental cost of our progress?
