An adult female is seated on the ground, embracing a young child, adjacent to operational railway tracks in an urban area of Lagos, Nigeria. The female, wearing a blue patterned headwrap and a blue and white patterned top, holds the child, who is dressed in a light-colored top and pants. They sit upon an orange fabric layered over a dark, star-patterned cloth, which rests directly on grey railway ballast and soil. Two parallel railway tracks with concrete sleepers are visible to their left, extending into the background. To their right, a substantial pile of mixed refuse, including plastic and other debris, is accumulated against a concrete wall, interspersed with sparse green vegetation. A thin red metal pole stands vertically near the refuse. The foreground consists of compacted dirt and scattered grey gravel, with minimal litter. The scene is outdoors and brightly lit by daylight.
