The image captures a scene from the Batavia Oil Company's operations in Balikpapan, Indonesia, during the early 20th century. The photograph showcases the company's industrial infrastructure, highlighting the storage and transportation of oil products. The foreground features a cluster of large, cylindrical storage tanks, likely used for storing oil or other petroleum products. These tanks are situated on a flat, open area, with a network of pipes and pathways connecting them. The tanks are made of metal and appear to be weathered and aged, hinting at a long history of use. The middle ground features a network of pipes and pathways connecting the oil storage facilities. The image suggests that the tanks are part of a larger industrial complex, with the pipes transporting oil products from storage to processing facilities or to loading areas for shipment. The background features a vast expanse of water, likely a bay or harbor, with a line of trees and hills in the distance. The water is calm and still, reflecting the clear sky above. The image captures a sense of industry and progress, with the tanks, pipes, and the surrounding environment reflecting the natural beauty of the region.
