Rolls of chain-link fencing stacked in front of a metal building

In an industrial lot, we see rolls of chain-link fencing, rolled and lying on the ground in the center foreground. Beyond them, more rolls are piled like logs in several stacks to the left and right on either side of an open aisle. In the middle distance is a long low building with corrugated metal walls and a low pointed roof. In the center of the building is a tall, square, open doorway into a darkened space. The sky above is bright and cloudless
