Description
Concrete mixer and several unidentified construction workers, building a water reservoir on Mount Wilson. One construction worker is seen standing on top of the concrete mixer itself. A wheelbarrow sits on the ground to the right of the mixer; an observatory tower can be seen in the background. Trees are also in the background, behind the construction area.
