Крупная свалка шин возле городка Голдендейл (Goldendale), штат Вашингтон. На заднем плане, примерно в 100 километрах -- гора Рейнир (Rainier), вид с запада. Если верить весьма ненадёжным данным из интернета, на свалке было более 2-х миллионов шин. Она хорошо видна из космоса: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=artist&sll=48.705916,-121.832886&sspn=1.074829,2.202759&ie=UTF8&ll=45.797249,-120.847474&spn=0.004436,0.012124&t=h&z=17. К счастью, над свалкой уже работают. Съездить на неё я хотел с 2005-го года, и когда, наконец, приехал туда, то обнаружил, что 2/3 шин (по сравнению со спутниковыми снимками) уже убрано. Но всё равно зрелище дикое. Сентябрь 2007.

Tire dump near Goldendale, WA. The mountain on the background is Rainier [approx. 60 miles to the east from that point]. According to various [unreliable] sources, there were more than 2 million tires at that site. The piles were so huge that you could easily see them from space (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=artist&sll=48.705916,-121.832886&sspn=1.074829,2.202759&ie=UTF8&ll=45.797249,-120.847474&spn=0.004436,0.012124&t=h&z=17). The good news is that the dump is being actively worked upon, at least this is what I saw when I arrived there. About 2/3 of the dump was gone by 09/2007 compared to the satellite images of 2005.
