Village resident pushes his bicycle through wintertime fields adjacent to the constantly spewing, massive smokestacks of Baotou Steel plant, the world's largest steel plant, Baotou, Inner Mongolia, China. Over one hundred idling diesel trucks brimming with coal are lined up waiting to enter the plant grounds to feed the beast. The paper tissues dicarded in the field are evidence of the field's status as an open-air bathroom for the drivers.
