This image depicts an elevated view of an open-air courtyard within a multi-story building in Shaba, Nigeria. A tall, slender palm tree with vibrant green fronds and some dried brown fronds stands centrally, rooted in a small, square planter box containing minimal ground vegetation. The courtyard floor is paved with square tiles in a repeating pattern of light and reddish-brown hues. The surrounding structure features a beige upper level with a white balustrade. On the upper right, a "POS SERVICES" sign is partially visible. The ground level comprises open alcoves or shop entrances. In the background left alcove, a dark-colored bicycle is parked beside stacked boxes, and a large poster or banner is visible on the wall of another alcove further right. Eight individuals are present in the courtyard. In the mid-ground, a group of three stands: one male in a dark blue traditional garment, one male in a light grey jacket with black sleeves and dark pants standing with crossed arms, and one female in a light-colored, patterned long dress or tunic holding papers. The male in dark blue and the female appear to be engaged in conversation. To their left, a male in a blue long-sleeved shirt leans against the palm tree's planter. At the base of the image, partially obscured, are a male in a dark red long-sleeved shirt and another male wearing a white cap and light-colored garment. In the background left, near an entrance, a male in a white traditional garment stands, with another partially visible individual in a red and blue top behind him.
