A photograph of a muddy drainage channel running alongside a low stone-block wall topped with a rusted metal fence. The narrow trench holds murky grey water with stones and debris along its bank. Beyond the fence is cleared, dry, sandy land with scattered palm trees and a few distant trees under an overcast sky. A raised pile of excavated soil and rubble lies to the right. No people are visible.

A photograph of a dirt roadside drainage trench under construction on a dusty village road. A narrow channel of muddy water runs down the centre between two raised banks of red-brown earth and scattered rocks. A young sapling stands on the left bank, with small green shrubs and grass along the edges. Beyond, a white-walled building with a thatched roof sits near the road, a parked truck is visible further back, and palm trees line the right side. No people are visible.

A dusty outdoor construction site under a hazy sky. A narrow earthen trench runs diagonally through the frame, with a low concrete block wall built along its left edge and dark, stagnant water flowing in the channel. Scattered litter, rubble and a broken concrete chunk lie on the bare brown ground to the right. Several green trees with dense foliage stand in the background, and a flat, unfinished area stretches toward the horizon. No people are visible.

A photograph of an outdoor construction site. A narrow drainage channel carrying murky grey water runs down the centre, bordered by raised earthen banks of excavated reddish-brown soil and grass. On the right, a yellow JCB backhoe loader with its bucket raised sits beside large mounds of red earth. On the left, a dirt track runs past a green metal gate and yellow flowering shrubs. A single figure in light clothing walks far off along the track. Bright daylight and a hazy sky suggest a dry day.

A dry, rocky hillside path in a dusty landscape. Two low dry-stone walls of stacked grey and brown stones run diagonally across the middle ground, retaining sandy and gravelly soil. Scrubby thorny bushes and a small green palm-like plant grow along the slopes, with bare hills and sparse trees behind. A patch of freshly turned dark earth lies in the foreground beside pale stony ground. No people or ritual activity are visible.

A photograph of a construction site with a deep trench dug into reddish-brown earth. A pale block wall with a stone base runs along the left edge, with a grey utility pole and bundles of electrical cable strung overhead. A coiled black cable and a large rock lie on the ground beside the trench. Beyond the excavation stands a thatched-roof structure amid green trees under a pale sky. No people are visible.

A photograph of an outdoor construction site on dry, reddish-brown earth. On the left, a row of unfinished grey concrete block walls under a metal roof frame stands beside the site. A long pale blue plastic pipe lies on the ground, with thinner dark pipes beneath it. In the centre, a shallow trench runs diagonally with a narrow channel of greenish water flowing through it, lined by a low cinder-block wall in the foreground. Green trees and a hazy sky appear in the background, with a pile of gravel near the middle. No people are visible.

A construction site with a large mound of reddish-brown earth in the foreground and a row of grey crushed stone lining a concrete edge on the right. A red tractor pulling a blue tipper trailer is dumping soil in the middle distance, with a worker near it. A blue signboard stands on the left among cleared sandy ground, and an unfinished multi-storey concrete building with scaffolding rises in the background beside a blue tarpaulin and a large red water tank. A single small figure stands at the far right edge near the wall.

Outdoor photo of a trench dug into reddish-brown soil in a yard, lined with rough grey stones laid as a foundation course. Loose earth and rubble pile up on both sides. A pale stone structure with a dark doorway stands at the left edge, with green shrubs, electric poles and a low building behind. Stakes and string mark the line of the excavation. No people are visible.
