The image depicts a late afternoon scene along a paved street or promenade in Zanzibar, Tanzania, likely near the Stone Town waterfront. The sky is clear and light blue. In the foreground on the right, a yellow "Cello" waste bin stands beside a low, white, ornate wall or monument. Paving stones form the ground plane, with long shadows cast towards the viewer. To the left of the foreground wall is a circular concrete planter containing small shrubs and a young palm tree, casting a prominent shadow. Behind this planter, a large, mature tree with numerous bare and leafy branches partially obscures a multi-story building. This building exhibits significant decay, with peeling light-colored paint, visible brickwork, and several rectangular window openings, some boarded up. A distinctive, turquoise-colored structure with an open design is attached to the left side of this building. Two individuals, an adult in light clothing and a child in pink, are seated on the ground near the base of the derelict building. A parked white scooter is visible nearby. Further left, a paved road stretches into the distance, lined by a series of mature palm trees. Numerous pedestrians are present along the waterfront promenade on the far side of the road. One individual in a red shirt walks away from the camera on the paved road. In the background, beyond the pedestrians and palm trees, a body of water is visible, with a large white and red boat docked, suggesting a port or harbor area. The overall scene is brightly lit by natural sunlight, indicating a clear day.
