A square black-and-white photograph features a mountainous landscape with steep, terraced hillsides. In the lower third, numerous stepped terraces descend toward a winding road, their water-filled paddies reflecting bright sunlight. In the center, a tiny dark truck travels away from the viewer. In the upper third, jagged ridges recede under a sky of billowing white clouds. Dark, forested slopes contrast with the shimmering terraces in the foreground.
