A flatbed truck loaded with rusted steel scaffolding pipes, metal sheets and rebar is driven away from a dusty construction site. Several men sit on top of the load, most in plain shirts and shorts, one wearing a red and white head cloth. Behind them stand tall coconut palms, a yellow excavator and a partly built breeze-block wall under a pale sky. The rear of the truck shows yellow registration plates.
