The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men working on a construction site. The men are standing on a wooden platform, which appears to be a bridge or a dock, and are gathered around a large pile of wooden planks. There are several workers on the platform, some of them are working on the planks, while others are standing around the pile. In the background, there are several buildings and a train can be seen on the tracks. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the image is somber.
