A woman is operating a surveying instrument mounted on a tripod in an outdoor paved area. She is seen looking intently through the eyepiece of the instrument. She is dressed in a black t-shirt, a plaid shirt worn open, a denim midi skirt, and white sneakers, with sunglasses perched on her head. A yellow tool case rests on the ground near the tripod. The setting is a modern, multi-story building with a brick facade and large dark windows in the background. Steps lead up to a glass door on the building, where some Chinese characters are visible but not clearly legible. The ground is a concrete or asphalt surface with some stains. The scene is brightly lit, indicating a clear, sunny daytime. The activity suggests a practical session or field work, possibly related to surveying or civil engineering. The location is Jiangjin, China.
