For those who haven't seen the movied "Manufactured Landscapes", it's an NFB film about Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky travelling through China recording the insane mind-boggling levels of industrialisation that are happening there.
This image is from the morning "quality control" meetings at an industrial complex--these people you see are all factory workers.
If you haven't seen this movie, see it. It's not only visually stunning, but it's also a very sobering look at how we're impacting the planet. What's also amazing, though, is that he's able to make even the most scarred landscapes look beautiful w/ his pictures.

I saw one of his exhibits in Montreal, lots of picks of Sudbury, and old indutrail stuff. amazingly and dreadfully beautiful.in some cases it was nature that was the spleanor, but in other cases it was a big rusting ship or a mine or a big decrepid building. time wearing away the world.
