The beauty and the horror in Edward Burtynsky's photographs

The award-winning Canadian photographer trains his lenses on industrial operations that alter landscapes on a mind-boggling scale. They dwarf the humans that create them, and inspire both awe and horror. But, Burtynsky says, the tortured landscapes in his pictures may be appalling, but we're all implicated because the consumerist way of life most of us enjoy has been made possible by inflicting such damage on the planet.
