This is a photograph of a warehouse filled with cotton bales. The image shows an interior space of a warehouse with stacks of large cotton bales piled high and loose cotton pieces scattered across the wooden floor. Several baskets are on the floor, and a large open doorway shows parked vehicles and trees outside, letting in daylight. The photograph is in sepia tone, accentuating the texture and volume of the cotton.
