Description
Photograph of the view of a single oil rig looming ahead of an oil field, [s.d.]. A single oil rig stands in the foreground - in front of the oil rig, at left, a small palm tree is partially visible. The oil rig is a part of a widespread oil field that occupies much of the middle and extends into the background. A small cluster of buildings account for the rest of the middle.
