Description
The image shows a closed chain-link gate with barbed wire along the top, situated in a grassy area. A sign attached to the fence reads “PRIVATE PROPERTY NO TRESPASSING” and appears to reference a chemical company, though parts are obscured by a leafy plant growing next to the sign. Beyond the fence is a large open field with sparse trees under a clear blue sky.
