The dam containing toxic waste material from the gold mine in North Western Romania burst and released 100,000 cubic meters of waste water, heavily contaminated with heavy metal, into the Abrudel River and Aries tributaries of the river Mures.Reports from the area indicate that there has been extensive damage to the river ecosystem and its fauna.

Great subject but I think you should have focussed more on the yellow water of the river than on a general view to have a more emotional (& journalistic) impact.
Ok, Cocor...Thanks!
You have the yellow water now! ha ha...
Wow, this is really a news. Unfortunately not a good one. Great photo.
Great approach!
I like it better now that you focused on the water.
WOW! A freightening view!
water is just to colorful, IMO
omg ! great
The orange color is real....(the water was like this: red and orange ) Sunday , last week , the river was contaminated with heavy metals. You can see press release and photo here: http://observator.antena1.ro/fiiobservator/material/POLUARE-PE-ARIES_1803.html
