A photograph of a concrete road running straight toward a distant treeline, bordered on both sides by low white-painted concrete posts and a metal railing. Lush green shrubs and a papaya tree stand at the left, with a stacked pile of bamboo poles at the far left edge. On the right, a black plastic drum, a pile of cardboard and cloth, a brick heap and a mound of sand sit beside the road. In the distance, two people in white clothes with orange-bordered or saffron garments walk along the road near a worker in dark clothing. The road has visible cracks across its surface.
