urban ecology

This image shows a former brownfield now nature area at sunset. The ground in the foreground is muddy with shallow pools of water, sparse grasses, and low vegetation. Farther back there are taller grasses and reeds, many catching the warm golden light. At the back are trees and, behind them, trailers or trucks partially visible. The sun is low on the horizon to the upper right, creating lens flare and a warm golden tone across the scene.
