On the left side of the frame, we see one of the skilled charcoal burners diligently controlling the burning clamp. With focused determination, he ensures that the fuel inside burns evenly and efficiently. This glimpse into their craftsmanship highlights their expertise and dedication to this age-old trade. At the center-right stands a rustic cabin constructed from branches covered with turf and heather. This humble shelter serves as both respite and workspace for these industrious individuals.
