A horizontal black-and-white photograph depicts a store called "ELBOWMAN | GROCERY" with a dark-colored car parked in front in the middle of the empty plains. There is an ice machine to the left and an oil rig to the right of the store. Two people inspect inside the hood of the car, and another car is visible in the background to the right.
