This is a photograph of two mortar shells on the ground amidst rocks and natural debris. The scene captures a portion of rough, barren terrain scattered with rocks of various sizes, sticks, and what appears to be dry grass or straw. Amidst this are unexploded mortar shells with their tail fins visible, resting on the ground. There is also a metal rod and a partially visible tin can in the composition. Various obscuring elements, such as text overlays, are present in the photograph.
