Kayford mountain, West Virginia, US. Mountaintop removal mining operations work around the clock at amazing speed; this lonely stand of trees disappeared in barely a day. The small bulldozer on the upper level pushes loose material down to the loader, which scoops it up into the next earth mover in line, which will in turn dump it into a nearby “valley fill”, burying the stream there.
