A color photograph taken in the Gowanus neighborhood of Brooklyn. In the background, the tallest elevated subway station in New York City. Smith-9th Street. In the middle ground, workers are shown cleaning up an oil spill that happened on the grounds of a heating oil distribution station. A view of part of the pumps they use are seen on the right side of the photo. Workers dressed in yellow vinyl suits have dropped oil spill kit absorbing powder and in the process of sweeping it up. In the foreground, a red fire alarm call box with graffiti tagged on it. The scene is presented on a bright and sunny day with long shadows with the sunlight coming from the right side of the photo.
