A photograph of an outdoor stone-working yard beside a white multi-storey building. A corrugated metal-roofed shed stands open-sided, with a figure in white clothing working near a bench at its edge. Yellow overhead gantry rails with a hanging hoist and black-and-yellow striped columns run across the scene. Large rough granite blocks, cut slabs and finished stone pieces lie scattered across dusty ground, with green trees behind and a white car at the lower right corner. No deity, ritual or discourse is shown.
