Description
A large pile of broken wood and construction debris sits on a grassy, uneven area near the center and right side of the image. The debris includes planks, beams, and other structural remnants, stacked irregularly and reaching several feet high. In the foreground, a light-colored slatted fence runs diagonally along the left side of the frame, partially obscuring the view. Trees with autumn foliage are visible in the background under a mostly cloudy sky. The lighting suggests a late afternoon or early evening setting.
