A wide-angle, eye-level photograph captures a bronze statue of a miner, situated on a multi-tiered stone pedestal within a grassy traffic island, at the intersection of Eloff Street Extension and Crownwood Road, Ormonde, Johannesburg South, South Africa. The male figure, depicted with a muscular physique, stands in a dynamic pose, holding a pickaxe in his left hand, resting on the pedestal, and a spherical object elevated in his raised right hand. He wears work boots, trousers, and a shoulder-slung bag. The tapered pedestal is constructed from rough-hewn, variegated brown and grey stones, featuring an oxidized rectangular metal plaque on its visible side. The surrounding grass on the median is predominantly dry and yellowish-brown with sparse green patches. A tall palm tree with a shaggy trunk stands to the left of the statue. In the distant background, to the right, commercial structures are visible, including a dark building displaying a white "RENAULT" logo. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight under a cloudless, light blue sky, with several small, dark birds in flight. A paved two-lane road with yellow and white lane markings occupies the immediate foreground, with a section of a vehicle's interior visible at the bottom right.
