A photograph of a calm, murky pond or lake on an overcast day. In the foreground a small circular stone-edged island with grass sits on the water. On the right bank, dense green shrubs and tall grasses line the edge, with a tall coconut palm standing among them and its reflection visible on the water. Behind the pond, an unfinished multi-storey concrete building with exposed rebar and scaffolding rises beside a dirt slope, with rocky hills and utility poles in the distance. No people are visible.
