The image is a black and white photograph of a group of men working in a trench. The trench appears to be in a rural area, as there are trees and shrubs scattered throughout the area. The ground is covered in dirt and debris, and there is a small stream running through the center of the trench. On the left side of the image, there are several men sitting and standing, and on the right side, there is another man standing. The men are wearing helmets and appear to be working on a construction site. The sky is overcast and the overall mood of the photograph is bleak and desolate.
