The image depicts an urban construction scene in Cotonou, Benin, on a bright day. The foreground features a street paved with interlocking gray concrete blocks. In the midground, three individuals, identified as construction workers, are engaged in roadwork alongside a curb and excavated trench area. All three wear yellow hard hats and high-visibility vests: one on the far left wears an orange shirt, the central worker an orange vest over reddish trousers, and the worker on the right a green/dark vest. The left and right workers are seated on concrete blocks, leaning forward, seemingly performing detailed tasks. The central worker stands upright. The work area is demarcated by orange safety netting on red support poles. In the background, various buildings are visible: a modern multi-story light-colored apartment building on the far left, a single-story cream-colored building directly behind the workers with a metal-barred entrance and affixed signs, and a multi-story concrete structure appearing partially unfinished or dilapidated on the right. Utility poles and overhead wires are present against a clear, bright sky.
