Mine (in foreground) and other people sit in the bus, watching others dig through the piles of luggage to find their own. A building and trucks are in the background, and behind them is the barbed wire fence and barracks on the racetrack. The bus roof has not been drawn so that the viewer has a birds-eye view of the people inside.
