Four platforms can be seen surrounding the derrick at various heights, including the very top of the tower. A man can be seen standing underneath the derrick on top of a raised platform. At least two dozen similar derricks can be seen behind the first. A few palm trees are visible throughout, and a one-story wooden structure can be seen at right with a sloped roof.
