This image depicts a densely populated informal market area in Nairobi, Kenya, consistent with environments like Gikomba Market or Muthurwa Market. The scene is dominated by a substantial, unmanaged refuse pile in the foreground and midground, composed primarily of white and green sacks filled with various waste materials, discarded plastics, and organic matter, resting on dirt ground next to a broken concrete curb and an asphalt road. A dark brown concrete utility pole stands prominently slightly left of center, angled towards the right. Several individuals are present in the midground and background. On the left, two individuals are seen walking: one in a red coat carrying a large white sack on their shoulder, and another behind them also carrying a sack. Further left, a person in a red and white top walks past. In the mid-background, numerous people are gathered around a row of informal market stalls constructed from makeshift materials like corrugated iron. One person in a bright blue top is distinguishable among the crowd. Two motorcycles are parked on the right side of the background, and a blue public transport vehicle (likely a matatu) is partially visible further right, near a pedestrian overpass structure. In the far left background, a multi-colored billboard, partially obscured, displays text including "AMB...OLA..." and "SHOP." The sky is overcast.
