A pile of old cars, dropped through a narrow opening, cascades into this abandoned Welsh slate mine. Daylight streams in from the same hole, illuminating twisted wreckages. Certainly. a strange site that raises questions and stirs emotions.
What do you see here? An unusually beautiful scene, accidentally created from careless dumping of cars? Or nothing more than an ugly pile of trash?

What do I see? An excellent composition. I originally disregarded the idea of it being a dump (leaning on the accident idea), but reading your comment, it appear I was understimating the fact some might just throw car in some (natural) hole in the ground disorganized.
Good work!
My first thoughts when I looked at this picture of abandoned cars in an abandoned mine shaft was the near certainty that one or more still contained fuel, oil and lubricants, all of which will pollute and poison the water table.

This is on par with the toxic tailings generated by virtually ALL mining operations with similarly negative impacts on the environment.
I see a pile of trash, though the lighting is nice.
@ObsidianUrbex I initially thought about the pollution in that water killing the creatures that live in it. But then, it's a mine. That body of water may well not have existed before they cut that pit open.
So, the cars, the hole, even the pond... all of it is a scar on the Earth. And the beautiful light and composition almost make me forget it.
As well as the scene itself, I see a metaphor.
