In a medium shot taken from a ground-level perspective, a yellow JCB backhoe is positioned in the background on a dirt road under a clear blue sky. Two workers, wearing blue and orange work clothes, stand near a circular manhole in the road. One worker is using a shovel. A small evergreen tree is visible to the left, and houses and power lines are in the background. Other manhole covers and wooden planks are in the foreground. The road is partially excavated around the manhole, with caution tape strung around the area.
