Two men pitchfork hay onto a horse-drawn carriage in a field in this horizontal black and white photograph. The platform of the carriage is wider than the two white horses harnessed to it. One man tosses hay onto the top of the pile and the other man standing there. We look slightly down a hill, which is spanned a short distance away by a band of evergreen trees. Rolling hills are hazy in the distance beyond.
