The image depicts a dense, overgrown roadside verge or embankment in Matale, Sri Lanka. The scene is dominated by a thick wall of varied green vegetation, including tall grasses, ferns, and numerous broadleaf shrubs, extending from the bottom to the top of the frame. Reed-like plants are prominent along the upper edge of the vegetation. A dark electrical wire or cable runs horizontally across the upper mid-section of the image, partially obscured by the foliage. The extreme bottom right corner shows a small, reflective portion of a vehicle's side mirror, suggesting the photograph was taken from a vehicle. No people or animals are visible. The ground immediately adjacent to the vegetation, visible in the lower right, appears to be an unpaved dirt surface.
