Такой белый песок?

Thank you for the interest shown on my photo. This is leftover sand from mining activities in Johannesburg and is very toxic.
The discovery of gold changed the fortunes of those who made Johannesburg their home. But 120 years later, abandoned gold mines on the West Rand have left a legacy of pollution that is threatening the security of the water supply. This pollution has also destroyed agricultural land and led to premature deaths and miscarriages in animals at a nearby game reserve.

Необычный пейзаж: песок и цветы.

Thank you for looking at my photo. Yes this is very toxic sand as well, it was also the biggest man made mountain in the world till they started to re-refine it som years ago.
