Plate for "TRACK 04": This plate features a high-definition aerial photograph of a river running through a landscape. The image fills the entire frame, and is a crop of a photo taken in 1977; it shows the local damage caused by the Hanford Site disaster. At the top right of the image, where the river widens and forms sandbars, tiny text is overlaid: "TRACKO4 / THE SIGN". The overall landscape depicted here is, to the untrained eye, clearly damaged, with great streaks of white spreading out from the river in seemingly unnatural patterns.
