This image presents a close-up, downward-angled view of an area of disturbed reddish-brown soil, located in Banteay Srei, Cambodia. The ground is largely covered by various stages of emergent vegetation. Numerous small, light green herbaceous plants with deeply lobed or compound leaves dominate the foreground and midground, interspersed with blades of green grass. Towards the top center-right, a singular, more mature plant with broad, ovate-to-cordate leaves and visible venation stands distinctly taller than the surrounding growth. A pale, elongated object, appearing to be a dried root or a small piece of wood, lies horizontally on the soil in the upper-middle left. The upper left portion of the frame reveals a darker, compacted soil bank or raised earth. The scene is static, devoid of any human presence or active subjects.
