A tall brick chimney dominates the scene, spewing thick black smoke into a hazy, overcast sky. The chimney stands on a low platform surrounded by piles of what appears to be coal. In the background, blurred mountains are visible through the smog. To the left, several metal containers holding coal sit on a mound. A rudimentary structure stands on the right side of the image. The overall impression is one of pollution and industrial activity in a desolate landscape.
