Description
The image shows an aerial view taken from an aircraft, with part of the plane’s wing visible on the right. In the center is a large industrial complex with multiple buildings, storage areas, and what appears to be containment ponds. Residential neighborhoods are visible in the foreground and upper left, characterized by grid-pattern streets and small homes. The background stretches into open farmland with scattered structures and distant haze.
