The image displays an extensive accumulation of mixed waste situated adjacent to a paved road in the Syokimau-Mulolongo ward, Kenya. In the foreground, a grey asphalt road is visible, flanked by a concrete curb and a narrow verge containing sparse green vegetation and minor litter. The midground is dominated by a large, uncontained mound of predominantly multicolored plastic waste, including bags, wrappers, and discarded items, extending from the roadside towards a dense treeline. Embedded within this waste pile are at least two large, dark, open-top refuse containers; one is significantly overflowing. Scattered across this refuse, approximately 10-15 goats of varying colors (white, brown, mottled) are actively foraging, with some standing and others positioned with heads down amongst the debris. A small, white kid goat is also visible. One individual, dressed in dark attire, is situated amidst the waste near the right-hand refuse container, facing away from the camera. This person carries a large, light-colored sack over their left shoulder, indicating engagement in waste collection or scavenging activities. The background features a dense line of mature green trees and bushes. Above the treeline, an overcast sky is visible, traversed by several overhead power lines. The overall scene depicts significant environmental pollution with human and animal interaction at a substantial waste site.
