Description
Photograph of an oil field in the distance, [s.d.] A patchy grassland is present in the foreground and most of the middle - there are scattered plants and a lot of dry, arid earth. At right, there is a sign visible - it reads "Kell Sher". The beginnings of the oil field take up the rest of the middle - with several oil wells and a few large industry vehicles and trailers to occupy the space. The oil field extends into the background.
