The image captures a young male child walking away from the camera across a sunlit, asphalt road at an urban intersection in Jos, Nigeria. The child, estimated to be between 6-10 years old, wears a long-sleeved shirt patterned with green, yellow, brown, and off-white geometric designs, dark grey trousers, and light brown open-toed sandals. He carries a rough-hewn, light-colored wooden pole, approximately 1.8 meters in length, balanced across his right shoulder and held by both hands. His body is angled leftward, indicating movement. Long, distinct shadows are cast on the road surface from the child and other objects, consistent with bright sunlight. In the background, a dark blue Toyota Sienna minivan is visible moving from right to left on the road, alongside other partially visible vehicles. To the left of the child, a black pole supports a yellow and green sign that reads "NO TRUCK PARKING BY ORDER," secured to a tire base. A traffic light displaying a green signal is mounted above and to the left of this sign. Beyond the road, low concrete barriers separate the street from several single-story structures with corrugated metal roofs, typical of mixed-use buildings in a developing urban area. Green foliage from trees is visible behind these structures.
