Description:: Workers, seen from a worm's-eye perspective, carry out repairs on a blast-damaged section of an aqueduct pipe. The pipe is viewed close-up, entering frame at left and stretching across the foreground. At center, a ladder is propped up against the near side of the pipe. One worker stands on the ladder and leans over the pipe to carry out repairs. Behind and to the left of him, another man stands atop the pipe. He faces slightly right as he swings the tool he holds behind him. Another man is barely visible along the left edge, also standing on the pipe.
