An elevated perspective captures the push boat "EXPLOITATION" propelling a large, empty cargo barge along the Rhine River in Kehl, Germany. The vessel combination moves from the viewer's left to right across the frame, generating a prominent white wake on the dark blue-grey water. The sky exhibits a low-angle illumination, displaying a gradient of soft orange, pink, and light blue, indicative of either sunrise or sunset; faint white contrails are visible in the upper sky. The distant riverbank is lined with a dense growth of bare deciduous trees, behind which a tall, slender lattice transmission tower is visible, with power lines extending laterally. No human figures are discernible on the vessels or riverbanks.
