A worker in an orange and brown striped shirt and grey shorts stoops beside a teal drilling rig marked KANNAN, shovelling loose brown soil from the ground at the base of the drill. A pile of excavated earth sits on the grass, and a rusty steel pipe rises from the machine. Sacks and litter lie on the ground, and another worker stands partly visible at the left edge.
