Survey stakes and reels at dawn in Gdynia

First rays of sunrise pierce dramatic clouds above the open ground in Gdynia, illuminating a row of survey stakes driven into the earth. Wooden cut grade rods stack neatly beside the trench edge, their red and white stripes catching the low light. Plastic string reels rest on the dirt next to cans of marker paint, their labels facing outward. A tower crane looms in the background, its steel structure dark against the brightening sky. The scene sits still during the morning lull, with tools arranged for immediate use. Shadows stretch long across the uneven soil, highlighting the texture of the dirt and the worn handles of the equipment. at the edge is a single red mark on a white rod, standing out against the gray pavement.
