Photo of the Day 50 of 365 Feb 19 2011 Work in progress

This photo was taken in Belgaum, India at the campus of the KLE University. Today on my way to give a talk at a pharmacy conference I encountered this scene.
These people are building the wall behind them. The labor is done completely by hand. I waited for the woman worker to carry the 50# bags of cement balanced on her head, but that was not happening as she had just done that and I missed the opportunity. You can see her under the shelter. These guys and woman had finished the wall and were plastering it about 4 hours later. There was absolutely no heavy equipment involved. 
I know this is not the best quality photo, but I really wanted to show the construction team and process.
