Cement Truck Pouring Forms on Scaffold Conakry

Thick gray concrete cascades from the rotating drum of a cement truck into wooden forms set upon a steel scaffold platform. The late monsoon evening brings heavy, dark clouds overhead, against the warm, yellow glow of overhead string lights strung across the construction site. These lights cast sharp highlights on the wet, slurry surface of the pouring material and the rusted metal grating beneath the truck's wheels. The churning mixture flows with mechanical precision, filling the rectangular molds against the backdrop of a humid, cloud-filled sky. Rusted bolts and weathered planks frame the heavy industrial activity, while the wet concrete reflects the artificial light in streaks of silver and gray along the edge of the formwork.
