Two men carry long pale cylindrical stone or concrete pillars out of a truck through an open doorway. The front man in a light blue button shirt lifts a pillar on his shoulder, while the man behind him in a white shirt and blue shorts steadies the other end. A third man in a white garment and head wrap sits inside the covered truck bed under a blue tarpaulin. A blue tarp hangs on the left wall beside a red brick wall, and the construction setting suggests materials being unloaded for building work.
