Description
A series of corroded barrels and metal pipes rest among leafless trees and dry brush in a narrow, sloped clearing. A narrow white stream or runoff flows past the barrels, bordered by rocks and vegetation. Some barrels are partially buried or surrounded by debris and fencing, suggesting disuse or abandonment in a natural or semi-industrial drainage area.
