Shoreline scene showing large rocks, dried plant stems, and green vegetation. A dense tangle of organic debris is concentrated between rocks near the water's edge. A small stream of dark water flows from the foreground toward the body of water, passing beneath a fabric-like material. In the background, the water surface contains floating debris, including what appears to be a tire. Scene suggests evidence of runoff or pollution.
