A construction site photograph showing a steel-reinforced concrete slab being formed. A grid of rebar lies across the foreground, with wooden spacer blocks and a plank laid over it. Dark steel formwork edges run across the frame. A worker in a red shirt and shorts crouches at the right, setting a wooden block, while another figure in a pink shirt stands in the background beside piles of gravel and sand, bricks, a blue tarpaulin and a small red-and-blue shelter. Other workers are partly visible at the edges.
