This is a black and white photograph showing a smoking coal slag heap or mine waste dump. Utility poles line what appears to be a road along the left side of the image. The heap appears to be smoldering, with smoke or steam rising from various points along its surface. The landscape is hilly or mountainous, with tree-covered slopes visible in the background. This type of scene was common in coal mining regions, where waste material from mining operations would be piled into large mounds that could sometimes catch fire and burn for extended periods due to the coal content in the waste material. The image likely dates from an earlier era of coal mining operations, given its black and white composition and the style of utility poles visible.
