A roadside photograph of a crowd of men standing on a gravel shoulder beside a paved road, with green trees and a flat, open landscape behind them under an overcast sky. Most wear dark blue short-sleeved shirts or brown and khaki shirts with trousers, and several are barefoot. Some look toward the camera while others face the road. A small decorated structure with a pale roof stands in the distance, and a utility pole runs along the edge. Several other people in white shirts stand near a tented area at left.
