Within an indoor cooking area in Kianyaga, Kenya, a sooty, dark metal pot containing clear liquid is positioned over an active open fire. The pot rests on two crude, dark stone or clay supports, forming part of a traditional three-stone cookstove setup. Flames and glowing embers are visible beneath the pot, fueled by several pieces of burning wood, one of which is a split log. The immediate ground surface around the fire consists of compacted earth mixed with ash, small burnt debris, and dry leaves. The interior walls of the fireplace are heavily stained with soot, contrasting with a lighter, rough-textured wall surface visible in the background. No individuals or additional objects are present in the frame.
