The image is a black and white photograph of a trench dug into the ground. The trench appears to be made of dirt and rocks, and there are several wooden poles and wires running along the sides. In the center of the trench, there is a man wearing a hat and a long coat, working on a wooden structure. He is holding a tool in his hand and seems to be digging a hole in the ground with it. The sky is cloudy and the overall mood of the image is bleak and desolate.
