This image depicts an excavated earthen slope within the city of Jos, Nigeria, under a hazy, light blue sky. The foreground is dominated by reddish-brown soil, indicative of mining or earthwork activities, with visible signs of erosion and terracing. Approximately ten individuals, appearing to be male, are scattered across the slope, engaged in manual labor. Their attire consists of casual clothing, such as t-shirts, shorts, and trousers, with no apparent safety gear. Several sections of blue plastic piping are present on the slope, some connected, suggesting water transport. Discolored, reddish-brown water, likely laden with sediment, flows down a channel in the lower right portion of the slope. An individual in a yellow shirt is positioned near this flowing water at the base of the slope, appearing to be actively working. Other individuals are distributed at various points, some standing, some crouched, consistent with digging or processing material. Sparse, dry vegetation is visible on the slope and lining a distant ridge in the background. In the far background, several white buildings with dark roofs are discernible, suggesting a distant urban or residential area.
