A bucket of gravel swings on its chains

A heavy steel bucket, heaped with gravel and hung from thick chains and a spreader bar, swings through the air; behind it a flat, pale plain stretches to a line of low hills. The site appears to be a gravel pit; sand and gravel for the concrete were dug from deposits near the river, then washed and graded before mixing.
