The image depicts a road construction scene in Al-Kum, Palestinian Territory, under a clear blue sky with scattered white clouds. In the foreground and midground, a dark, freshly laid asphalt road occupies the lower two-thirds of the frame. Approximately ten male workers are visible. In the immediate foreground, a worker wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt, dark pants, and work boots operates a yellow and black plate compactor, moving forward to compact the new asphalt. To his immediate right, another worker in a grey shirt and dark pants walks alongside, looking down. Further back on the left, a worker in a blue collared shirt and dark pants walks across the new asphalt, holding a shovel. Dominating the right side of the image is a large yellow Volvo asphalt paver, with its operator visible within the cab. Several other workers, some wearing hard hats and high-visibility vests, are clustered around the paver, involved in the paving process. A worker in a dark blue shirt stands to the right of the paver, facing away. In the background on the left, a light-colored, multi-story building with a textured stone-like facade features an ornate dark metal door and arched windows with metal security grilles. A leafy green tree is visible in the center background, and other residential structures with a white rooftop water tank are partially visible in the far-right background.
