Three men are engaged in manual labor in an outdoor yard in Adankolo, Nigeria, during daylight hours. A large pile of reddish-brown soil or gravel dominates the foreground. The man on the right, wearing a striped shirt and a patterned head covering, actively uses a shovel to mix the pile. Another man in the center holds a white bucket, observing or assisting. A third man on the far left is partially visible, using a tool that appears to be a pickaxe to break up the ground or another pile. Behind them, residential-style houses with light-colored walls, dark-framed windows, security bars, and corrugated iron roofs are visible. Several plastic buckets and containers are placed near the houses. On the left, a stack of concrete blocks is present. The ground is unpaved dirt with sections of cracked concrete. A tree branch with green leaves extends into the frame from the top left. The men are focused on their task, likely involved in construction or groundwork.
