A photograph of four men working at a rocky, excavated earth site with muddy puddles and dirt mounds. Three men in light shirts and trousers stand and bend over a pale, dusty patch of ground, one holding a long pipe or rod, while a fourth man in a blue shirt and cap stands on a raised mound at the right. Hoses lie across the ground and a man in a white shirt and jeans kneels at the bottom, working with a tool. The scene looks like a construction or drilling site.
