15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World

The breaking of a mining barrage in 2015 and consequent flood of a highly toxic mud is considered the worst environmental disaster in Brazil's History. A year later I took this photo of some trees and a river devastated by the mud to the point they are barely recognizable.
