Description

Photograph of an oil fire at an unidentified oil field, showing a melting derrick, [s.d.]. In the center distance, smoke billows from the melted remains of an oil derrick, flanked to either side farther in the foreground by unmolested derricks. At center, a dirt road appears to be covered with a liquid of some sort, possibly oil. To the left, a sign reads "No Smoking".
