A photograph of an unfinished construction site at a rural compound. Long single-storey buildings of grey cinder block stand under a pale overcast sky, with some window openings and rough bamboo poles propped against the walls. A dirt yard lies in the foreground with a mound of sand and scattered patches of grass. Several figures in dark and light clothing stand near the doorways at the centre of the building row, and piled corrugated sheets and debris lie at the right edge. A tree and a distant rocky hill frame the background.
