This image depicts a wide expanse of a calm, murky river, consistent with the Benue River in Ibi, Nigeria, under a clear, pale sky. In the midground, a dark, narrow boat, resembling a dugout canoe, is propelled by three individuals. One individual stands upright in the bow, facing away from the viewer, appearing to use a long pole. A second individual is seated centrally within the boat. The third individual stands near the stern, facing the left, and is observed interacting with a white object or substance in the water, possibly a net or equipment. The distant left bank features industrial or commercial structures, including prominent white buildings and vertical dark elements. The distant right bank consists of a natural, elevated earthen bank with scattered vegetation, notably a large, deciduous tree positioned centrally on the bank. Beyond this, several light-colored structures, likely residential or small buildings, are visible among distant trees. The immediate foreground shows the river surface, with a darker, indistinct edge in the bottom left corner, possibly indicating the photographer's proximity to the riverbank.
