A photograph taken from behind of a red-and-yellow truck with a caged wooden body, its tailgate reading "HICHER" in red lettering on a yellow band. Many people stand crowded in the open back, gripping the metal bars, wearing white shirts, a turquoise shirt and a red top. The truck rounds a curve on a paved rural road lined with green shrubs, pink flowering bushes and palm trees. Three people walk along the road ahead at the top of the frame, and a white gate stands at the right edge.
