Description

Photograph of two workers digging on the side of a road, [s.d.]. The men can be seen to the right of center near the edge of a sidewalk hunched over while they dig with shovels. They wear pants, caps, and long sleeved shirts. The man at left wears tall boots, while a utility pole partially obscures the man on the right. A sidewalk can be seen running from the right foreground to the left background. Four overgrown palm trees line the sidewalk beyond where the men work. A pathway leads up a small grassy incline at left, while a portion of a sign can be seen on top of the incline. A paved road is visible to the right of the men, while two- to three-story buildings line the right side of the road. Utility poles can be seen along the road, while a mailbox can be seen in the right foreground.
