Interesting picture! Some are looking for protection in the ditch and the two others are walking like they were on a sunday walk?!

[Paul S.]

I think they are actually hiding from the 2 officers walking up the road. Some guys will do anything to get out of work details.

Thanks!

And, of course, the photographer is standing up. One guy is grabbing the side of the ditch as if there are rounds incoming.
