A grassy area is enclosed by a tall chain-link fence topped with barbed wire. In the center of the fence is a yellow sign that reads "No Trespassing – Private Property – Hooker Chem. Corp." The field beyond the fence is overgrown with grass and small wildflowers, and a few trees are scattered throughout the area. The foreground shows a dirt path and some litter on the ground. The sky is clear and blue.
