The image shows a bridge made of steel, viewed from a low angle. A concrete pillar extends vertically through the scene, with a horizon of dirt and sparse vegetation. A small building with a cross and a tall smokestack are visible on the horizon. The black and white palette highlights the contrast and geometric forms of the structures against the sky.
