A man stands in the shallow water of a muddy lake or pond, using a red bucket to scoop up water. He is wearing a blue shirt, khaki shorts, and dark-colored boots or waders. The water is murky and reddish-brown, suggesting the presence of clay or mud. The surrounding area is composed of mounds of reddish-brown and light-colored earth. A shovel lies on the ground near a small, dug-out area. A blue basin is visible. In the background, more mounds of earth protrude from the water, and hoses are floating in the water. The scene appears to be a mining or excavation site.
