Dirt Piles & Slag

  
 "...back in the day, the entire valley used to have its own unique 
cachet... ...weird colored random piles scattered here and there... 
...often contrasted by fluffy low-lying smoke... ...it made for a 
certain je ne sais quoi... ...then, sometime in the '70s or early 
'80s, they started the clean-up... ...so they hired students, planted 
grass on the slag piles and started printing tourist brochures...
...ruined the whole dang thing..."
