This grayscale photograph shows an elevated view of a landscape dominated by four large industrial cooling towers in the distance. The horizon behind the towers shows other structures and low hills partially obscured by haze. Directly below the towers is a wide, grassy field. Distant people appear to play a game on the field, perhaps soccer, running in between two large goals on either side of the field. There are also some spectators. Closer to us, there is a line of cars parked on a patch of dirt surrounded by leafless trees. On the right, a wide river appears to run by the edge of the field.
