A tall drilling rig is operating in an enclosure behind a low wall. The enclosure is also surrounded by a chain link fence topped with barbed wire. The rig is actively drilling, as visible smoke or steam is billowing out from it. The sky is a hazy purple color, suggesting the time of day may be early morning or late evening. The surrounding area appears to be a field with grass and weeds. In the foreground, there is some construction debris, including bricks and sand. A small tree or shrub is visible on the right side of the frame, and a partial wall is visible on the bottom left. The overall impression is that of an industrial operation taking place in a somewhat rural or undeveloped setting.
