A digital scan of an aerial photograph depicting cranes repairing a dike along the Combahee River. In the top right corner, trees and patches of grass along the riverbank are visible. The river itself occupies much of the photograph and appears deep blue in contrast to the flooded fields adjacent its southern bank. Patches of green and brown vegetation grow along the levee that separates the blue river from the grey flooded fields. Two red and white cranes can be seen repairing a part of the levee that has broken.
