A black and white photograph of an abstract view of sand bars.

The black and white photograph shows an abstract view of sandbars. Two dark areas snake up from the right and bottom edge across the picture plane, the upper right corner is dark and curves down from the top across and down to the center of the right edge. Between the dark areas are lighter spaces marbled with gray with a plain bright area just off center in the middle of the image. In the upper left corner is an area with petal like shapes in shades of gray.
