At the corner, a soldier (center) stands and peers over to the left. Other spectators sit on the scaffolding beams beneath the grandstand with their backs to the camera. A row at the top of the grandstand is visible. Here, spectators sit with their backs to the camera as well. Trees stand on the left side of the image.
