The photograph shows a desert scene from a ground-level point of view. A bush dominates the center with intricate branches and stems. The horizon is low and the landform to the left may be a hill or mountain. Fine details of branches and vegetation are highlighted by sunlight in black and white. The sky blends into the distant landscape.
