This black-and-white image shows two dark tracks meandering diagonally from lower left to upper right and then bending back to the left again before they disappear. The tracks are atop a shallow slope that dips downward from left to right. In the distance, near the top of the image, are more slopes, a broad, sandy plain, and a horizon that is flat on the right and bounded by low-lying hills on the left.
