In the left foreground of this black and white photograph, a man in overalls leans heavily against the corner of a weathered wooden building. This takes up a full third of the picture. The ground on which the man is standing slopes into the distance, where it meets deeply eroded fields. At the far end of the fields, and located just right-of-center within the image, a lone bare tree stands against a placid sky.
This black and white photograph represents a sand dune hill with vegetation and shurbbery. In the bottom of the image are barren bushes and a yucca plant base. The side of the dune hill is scattered with grasses.
Two birds are depicted flying towards the left. The upper bird opens its mouth wide. Two nests are depicted at the bottom of the composition, shown facing forward and in profile. This image is set against a light blue background.
