A photo of an outdoor construction site where concrete columns are being poured on a flat slab. Rebar rods stick up from the columns, which are boxed in timber formwork held by blue metal scaffolding. Five or six workers in ordinary work clothes mix and pour wet concrete from a wheelbarrow and a tray, and one worker stands high on the scaffold feeding a hose. Green and grey hoses lie across the wet floor. On the left, a man in a white dhoti and a yellow shawl stands watching the work. Low brick walls and palm trees appear in the background.
