The image captures a scene of extensive demolition and clearance activity along a waterfront in Iwaya, Nigeria. In the foreground, numerous traditional wooden canoes, varying in size, are clustered in murky water. One canoe in the mid-right contains a standing adult male, dressed in a patterned short-sleeved shirt and dark shorts, propelling the vessel with a long wooden pole. Another canoe to the left holds a wooden, slatted bench. A canoe in the immediate foreground contains a dark, tarp-covered object, possibly an engine. Behind the cluster of boats, a vast area of land is covered in debris from demolished structures, consisting primarily of wooden planks, corrugated metal sheets, and assorted refuse. Several individuals are visible navigating this rubble-strewn landscape. In the upper-middle background, a yellow Caterpillar excavator is actively engaged amidst the wreckage, indicating ongoing demolition or cleanup operations. The distant skyline features faint outlines of modern buildings, set against a hazy, light gray sky.
