A horizontally oriented black-and-white photograph depicts a construction site over water. In the foreground at the left-hand side, a tall crane rises near train cars. In the lower center, massive concrete supports with protruding rods emerge from dark water. Multi-leveled highway bridges and rail lines loom in the background, extending across the entire upper half and casting deep, sharp shadows over the sunlit industrial landscape.
