Description

Looking down into Room 93 at Vouni, a trench with cut stone walls on two sides. Three workers in headscarves and long dresses stand on the trench floor beside a shovel and a pick, while three more rest against the far wall at right. Rail tracks and small carts run along the rim, with the sea and hills in the distance.
