The image depicts a bustling, unpaved market street or alley in Onitsha, Nigeria, under an overcast sky. The ground consists of uneven reddish-brown dirt, extensively littered with plastic bags, wrappers, bottles, organic debris, and small stones. In the center foreground, a woman of moderate build, dressed in a colorful, patterned ankle-length dress and sandals, walks directly towards the viewer. She carries a large, white, bulky sack balanced on her head and a blue shoulder bag. On the left side of the path, a person's lower torso and legs, wearing a red top and dark bottom, are partially visible in the immediate foreground. Further back on the left, market stalls with corrugated metal roofs display various goods including clothing, plastic items, and household goods. A small, light-colored chicken is present on the ground near these stalls. In the mid-distance on the left, a tall metal structure supports a dark water tank. On the right side of the path, dark, makeshift market stalls with fabric or tarp roofs line the street. Piles of rocks, concrete debris, and stacked vehicle tires are visible next to these stalls. Further down the path, behind the central figure, a large red market umbrella is open. Numerous other blurred figures and additional market stalls are discernible in the background, extending into the distance under the hazy sky. The overall scene suggests a busy commercial area characterized by informal structures and visible litter.
