Night photograph of construction work at a concrete-block building under warm artificial light. Four men work by the wall: a crouching worker in a white head cloth and pale patterned shirt uses a trowel against the blocks, a standing man in a checked shirt and white trousers holds a plumb line, and two men on the left wear a checked lungi and a blue-and-white head cloth, watching. A taut string line runs diagonally across the frame, and a round metal tray, cement bricks and tools sit on the ground. A dark rectangular window opening is set into the wall above.
