This image depicts an expansive coastal scene in Shanzu ward, Kenya, during a low-tide period. The foreground comprises textured, brownish-grey mudflats with reflective shallow water pools. In the midground, a primary group of approximately 15-20 individuals, mostly adults, is gathered closely together in knee-deep water. One person in this group wears a pink top, and a dark, circular object lies in the water near their feet. Further to the left, a smaller, dispersed group of individuals, some wearing red clothing, are also visible wading in shallower water. To the right, two men stand in the water near a white boat with a blue stripe, equipped with a white canopy structure and an outboard motor, which is positioned in slightly deeper water. Another smaller, white boat is visible further left in the water, with additional distant vessels in the background. The horizon line is distant and merges with a hazy, light grey sky, indicating an overcast or muted lighting condition. The scene suggests a communal activity taking place on the exposed seabed.
