These are photographs by Edward Burtynsky from The Anthropocene Project, a multimedia undertaking that showcases the effect humans have had on our planet. Top: a palm oil plantation in Malaysia. Bottom: a coal mine in Germany.
In addition to the photographs, there's also a book and a film among other things.
I've been a fan of Burtynsky's photography for years and I'm hoping to see both the film and the photos somewhere soon.
