The original database describes this as:

Description: This photograph was taken by the Lunar Module Pilot (LMP) from the Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) as the astronauts drove toward the Lunar Module (LM) near the end of the third EVA period. The dark areas around the Lunar Module (LM) are vehicle and boot tracks, which reflect intense activity associated with the vehicle, Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) deployment, and sample collection. The Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) station can be seen along the right margin of the photograph. The white area just above the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package (ALSEP) station is composed of South Ray and Baby Ray Craters approximately 6 km in the distance. The light color is from the blanket of material that was ejected from the craters when they were formed. Just to the left of the Lunar Module (LM) is a crater that is approximately 25 m in diameter. The Commander (CDR) flew the Lunar Module (LM) over this crater just before landing. Stone Mountain forms the skyline along the upper left in the photograph. The golden object in the foreground is the TV camera that provided the Earth with real-time coverage of the mission. Original film magazine was labeled F,filmtype was SO-168 (High Speed Color Exterior),60mm lens with a sun elevation of 47 degrees.
