An aerial photograph depicts the densely trafficked Globe Roundabout in Nairobi, Kenya, under a daytime sky with scattered cumulus clouds. The image is captured from an elevated position, likely through a window, as evidenced by vertical reflections on the left side. At the center of the scene is a large, multi-lane traffic circle featuring a light-colored, obelisk-shaped monument on its central island. Heavy vehicle congestion is present across all lanes of the roundabout and its converging roads. The traffic consists of a diverse array of vehicles, predominantly numerous brightly colored public transport matatus and buses, along with private cars, SUVs, and a few trucks. Vehicles appear to be in various states of movement and static congestion. Surrounding the roundabout, a high volume of pedestrians is visible on sidewalks and actively navigating crossing points. To the immediate right of the roundabout, a substantial grouping of mature trees is present, bordering a series of large commercial or industrial buildings with expansive rooftops. In the middle ground and background, a multitude of multi-story urban buildings define the skyline, including a prominent light-green-faceted building situated to the right of the obelisk. Further into the distance, the urban landscape extends with additional buildings and green spaces. In the lower right foreground, a parking area contains several parked automobiles. Utility poles and street infrastructure are distributed throughout the observed area.
