The black and white photograph depicts an open-pit mine or quarry. The image shows multiple levels of excavated land, with piles of dirt and rock visible. A small body of water has collected at the bottom of the pit. Vegetation, including grass and a few trees, can be seen around the edges and slopes of the mine. Tire tracks from vehicles or equipment are visible winding through the excavated area. The mine appears to be located in a rural or natural setting based on the lack of buildings or other structures in the surrounding landscape.

This black and white photograph from 1989 shows what appears to be an abandoned mining or industrial site near Brighton, Minnesota. The image captures a large excavated pit or quarry with steep, barren slopes leading down to a pool of water at the bottom. The landscape appears stark and altered by human activity, with some scattered trees and vegetation around the edges of the pit. There are distinctive striped patterns or channels visible running down one of the slopes. The photograph includes a handwritten caption at the bottom indicating this is the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant, and notes that effluent from this plant polluted water in the area. The composition emphasizes the scale and environmental impact of the industrial site on the natural landscape.
