Beauty in made landscapes

Updated - Stanford stupidly took the site down, here's Burtynsky's own site.
I saw the Burtynsky exhibition at Stanford today. He takes haunting pictures of landscapes transformed by industry into scenes of devastation and strange beauty. Quarries that look like stacks of boxes or an auditorium, then you see a tiny vehicle and realise the scale.Shattered Ozymandian fragments of ships in Chittagong, towering over the people cutting them up for scrap.
Go look at them now.
