Each environment has its own beauty. This picture shows two different scenes of nature.
One is green nature and the other is garbage heap. Sometimes it is a source of livelihood for helpless people.
In this picture we can see a woman collecting unused and wasted items from a garbage heap to make
a living surrounded by a green beautiful natural environment. Where the water reflects the blue sky, green fields of corn, open space.
They earn their livelihood by selling the products collected from the garbage heaps in the market.
There are many invisible germs in this unsanitary area that one can easily get infected but how can life go on if you think about these.
This is how civilization is progressing.
