This image captures an active grinding operation in Rafin Bauna, Nigeria. A blue-painted, heavily worn metal grinding machine, exhibiting rust and splatters of processed material, is central to the scene. The machine is actively discharging a light-colored, wet, pulpy substance from its output chute into a dark blue plastic basin. The basin, containing a mixture of the ground material and liquid, rests on several large, irregular stones on the light brown, sandy ground. On the left side of the frame, the lower legs and feet of an individual are visible, wearing dark trousers patterned with light-colored designs. On the right, a portion of another individual is seen, dressed in traditional African patterned fabric, predominantly red, white, and dark blue/black. Scattered on the sandy ground near the machine are several pairs of footwear, including black and white striped slides, red slides, and green flip-flops. A motor or engine is partially visible in the background, suggesting it powers the grinding mechanism.
