L'image montre un réservoir cylindrique abandonné situé sur une pelouse adjacente à une route, avec deux bateaux visibles en arrière-plan. Le réservoir semble usé et abîmé, portant des signes de vieillesse et de négligence. En premier plan, le réservoir domine la scène, sa couleur blanche s'est estompée pour révéler des taches brunes de rouille sur sa surface. Une ouverture rectangulaire est discernable sur le côté gauche du réservoir, tandis qu'un grand tuyau en métal dépasse du coin supérieur droit. La zone environnante est envahie par l'herbe et les mauvaises herbes. En arrière-plan, deux bateaux sont partiellement visibles derrière le réservoir. Un bateau dispose d'une coque rouge distinctive ornée de lettres dorées sur lesquelles est écrit "De Queen". Un conteneur bleu étiqueté "N BROOK" en blanc est posé à côté de ce bateau. Bien que les détails du second bateau soient masqués par le réservoir, il semble être positionné plus près de l'appareil photo. L'image offre un aperçu intrigant d'une zone industrielle négligée, avec le réservoir abandonné servant de poignant rappel des activités passées et de leur impact sur l'environnement. La présence de bateaux en arrière-plan apporte du contexte à la scène, suggérant que cet endroit a pu être utilisé à des fins ou au transport maritime.
