The image shows a scene at the Big Bend Coal Power Station in Apollo Beach, Florida, taken in 2005. The point of view is from the shoreline, looking across a body of water toward the power station. The horizon is placed relatively low, showing the sky filled with scattered clouds. The power station, with its tall smokestacks emitting white smoke, is in the middle distance on the left side. Close to us, a group of people are fishing and swimming along the sandy shoreline. Their clothes and belongings are on the sand. The color palette includes the blue of the water and sky, the green vegetation, and the industrial grays and reds of the power station.
