The image depicts a street scene in Goma, Democratic Republic of the Congo. In the foreground, a woman with dark skin and black hair, wearing a long patterned red and white dress and white sandals, walks while holding a dark object to her right ear, indicative of a phone call. She is accompanied by a boy, also with dark skin, wearing a white polo shirt, white shorts, black socks, and red and black sneakers, with a black backpack. The boy's left arm is around the woman's shoulders as they walk forward on a grey, cracked paved surface, likely a sidewalk or road edge. To their left, partially visible, is the front bumper of a blue vehicle, and further back, a person carrying items on their head walks away. The main thoroughfare, separated by a low concrete curb, occupies the midground and background. Yellow shared taxi vans are visible on the left side of the road, and multiple motorcycles, including one red motorcycle with a driver and passenger, are present on the right. In the background, street activity continues with more pedestrians and vehicles. Prominent buildings line the street: on the left, multi-story structures with varied architecture and a red Vodacom sign; on the right, a distinctive blue-glass building with "FLORIDA" signage visible at its top, and adjacent to it, a street vendor's stall with a red umbrella and cooler. The sky appears overcast or hazy.
