| Abstract: | Two male sanitation workers sweep at an intersection, possibly after a
parade. Litter appears to be mostly white paper and paper shreds. The
street appears wet. Both workers wear dark, short-sleeved uniforms and
carry American flags in their pockets. Several people walk across the
street behind them. The intersecting street is filled with unidentified
vehicles, some of them likely Department vehicles. |
