This image captures an active outdoor market scene in Tamale, Ghana. The foreground and midground are dominated by extensive quantities of red and purple onions, mounded in various containers including large woven baskets, a colorful patterned metal basin, and a red metal can labeled "Tomato mix." A red mesh bag filled with onions is also visible on the right. Three women are prominent in the scene. In the midground, two women are seated on the ground. The woman on the left wears a green headwrap with white embellishments, a blue garment underneath, and a patterned long-sleeved shirt featuring yellow, green, and black leaf motifs. She is smiling, looking towards the other seated woman, and holds a small black object in her hands. The woman on the right wears a blue headwrap and a blue patterned dress. Her left arm is extended towards the face of the first woman, appearing to engage in a minor exchange or interaction. She holds a small yellow item in her right hand. A black bucket is situated near her on the ground. In the background to the left, a third woman stands, facing right, carrying a large, light-colored object on her head, possibly a basket covered with fabric. She wears a light blue and white patterned long-sleeved dress and a dark head covering. A black satchel is slung over her left shoulder. The ground consists of bare earth. Behind the figures, market infrastructure includes a rough, light-brown brick wall on the left and a dark, corrugated metal structure (possibly a stall or shipping container) on the right, to which a poster is attached. A blurred individual in a yellow shirt and a bicycle wheel are partially visible in the distant background. The scene is illuminated by natural daylight.
