A photograph of a rocky construction excavation site seen from above. Two men work on dusty brown ground strewn with broken stone. The man on the left wears a pink-and-purple checked head cloth and an orange shirt and bends over a jackhammer or drill. The man on the right wears a pale headband, a light shirt and trousers, and rests one foot on a rock while bracing the tool. A green hose runs across the ground, and a blue tarpaulin holds scattered iron drill bits and rods. A green bottle lies on the ground, and white smoke or dust rises from the drilling point.
