A rectangular pit is dug into the ground, and its walls are fortified with concrete. Several large metal cranes or towers can be seen in the pit, and the ground is littered with metal beams. In the background, several buildings are visible, including a water tower with a man's face on the side. Several early automobiles can be seen parked in the dirt at right.
