A construction site in a rural compound on a sunny day. Red-brown earth is piled in mounds beside a trench, with bundles of woven palm leaf matting and pale sticks lying across the soil. A grey heap of broken stone sits in the background near a palm tree and a white-walled building with blue doors. A single white plastic chair stands on a low stone kerb in the foreground, and a wooden pole leans at the left edge. A lone figure in light clothing stands far back in the grass, and no one else is visible.
