Night photograph of a group of men walking barefoot along a dirt path lit faintly by a distant light. The central man wears a plain white shirt and white trousers with a lanyard-style ID badge, and his face is toward the camera. Behind him, other men in white and in a checked shirt walk in the same direction, with potted shrubs lining the path and a tall pole with an orange flag on the left. Dark trees and buildings fill the background.
