A black-and-white photograph showing a drainage pipe protruding from a concrete wall at the base of a steep, rocky hillside. The pipe empties into a shallow, debris-filled channel running alongside a highway. A chain-link fence runs along the edge of the slope, separating the hillside from the road. The highway curves gently to the right and continues into the distance, where a vehicle is visible traveling away from the camera. The scene shows signs of erosion and unmaintained infrastructure along the road’s edge.
