The image is a black and white photograph of a barren landscape. The ground is covered in small rocks and pebbles, and there is a large trench running through the center of the image. The trench appears to be made of dirt and rocks, and it is surrounded by a line of wooden poles. There are a few people walking on the left side of the trench, and a few on the right side. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is bleak and desolate.
