Description
Photograph of ditch construction in street, [s.d.]. In the foreground at center, a wide road can be seen extending into the background. Near the right curb of the road, a small ditch is visible. A large pile of dirt sits to the left of the ditch, and water from a hose in the background flows down the small canal. In the background at center, two men work on the ditch with shovels. Another man can be seen standing near the sidewalk at right. A lone shovel sits in the foreground at right. To the left and right of the street, large palm trees are visible. A row of homes can be seen in the extreme background, and a large building is also visible at right.
