The image displays an agricultural field in the vicinity of Río Grande, Mexico. Numerous parallel rows of mounded soil, covered with light grey plastic mulch, dominate the foreground and midground, extending diagonally from the lower left toward the upper right of the frame. Each mulch sheet features uniformly spaced circular perforations, through which small green plant sprouts are visible. On the distant horizon, a solitary, dark-foliaged deciduous tree stands centrally, silhouetted against a partly cloudy sky. To the left of the tree, a dense line of darker green vegetation forms the distant boundary. The sky overhead is light blue, scattered with white and light grey cumulus clouds. No people, animals, or active agricultural machinery are present. The environment suggests a cultivated landscape utilizing modern mulching techniques.
