Description

Two damaged aqueduct pipes enter frame from the lower right corner and stretch towards center as they lie across a hillside. The rock-strewn hillside extends upward on a slight angle to the left. To the right of the pipes, water cascades down the hillside, emanating from a broken pipe near the upper left corner. A car in partial view is visible along the bottom edge near the lower left corner.
