A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a sprawling industrial yard. Wooden beams and metal scrap dusted with snow fill the foreground. In the middle ground, massive mounds of crushed metal cubes extend toward two towering industrial structures with thick, curving pipes and smokestacks that dominate the background. Bright light from the right casts long shadows toward the left across the textured debris and snowy landscape.
