A building interior with polished wood floors, stained dark with clearly visible wood grain, and wood paneled walls stained a lighter color with visible knots. The edge of a cut stone fireplace is visible at the right edge of the photo with a red fire extinguisher at the base. A boarded up window fills a portion of the back wall.

A stone retaining wall made of long, flat stones crosses the frame from bottom left to middle right. Below it is rocky, freshly dug earth, and above is bare earth and a tracked digging machine with its digging bucket extending over the wall. In the background, green open woodland fills the space left of the digging machine and two brown painted buildings and a white work truck fill the space to the right.

A construction site where a concrete retaining wall is being built. A building with no siding is just visible at the left of the frame, and the retaining wall makes a passageway behind and around the building. The nearest section of the wall is just rebar reinforcing members awaiting the plywood molds, seen scattered about, to be assembled around it. The hillside behind the wall is covered with green forest and bare dirt and rock can be seen through the rebar.

A large cylindrical, tan metal water tank, built in rectangular sections. Several sections are not in place on the bottom left, revealing jacks and other construction equipment inside. The top is ringed by a safety rail, the ground around the tank is disturbed red clay, and dense, green forest fills the background with blue sky above.

A 360 degree photo showing the inside the water tank from image 4. The interior of the tank is white painted rectangular metal panels with darker bolted or riveted bands of metal between the sections. The roof is domed and constructed from wedge-shaped sections. The floor is covered with various construction implements and jacks are visible around the perimeter. Outside scenery is visible through missing panels on the bottom level.
