Description:: A segment of aqueduct pipe stretches across the top of the image and is viewed close-up. At center, a large blast-hole sits at the bottom of the pipe. Shards from the hole protrude up and are barely visible in the shadows. A triangular patch of light streams between the shards and through another blast hole on the other side of the pipe. A small trickle of water flows out from the pipe, just left-of-center. Along the bottom third of the image, rock-covered terrain occupies the background.
