Sand mining

Locality: Lisbon, Lisbon District, Portugal

Sand mining at Quinta da Lobeira; note the human hard work... the sand was passed with a shovel, from terrace to terrace, up to the level where it would be loaded into small trucks.
Old photo probably from the middle of the 20th century (source and exact date unknown).
