Description
In a dusty lumber yard at a sawmill in China, three workmen look on while another workman driving a small construction vehicle uses a crane to lift a bundle of roughly-cut logs above of a small wheeled cart. The periphery of the lumber yard is crowded with stacks of roughly-cut logs. Trees and utility poles under a clear sky can be seen in the background.
