The scene is set outdoors in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, under the substantial canopy of a large tree with dense green foliage, consistent with a mango tree, within an area of sparse dry vegetation and bare earth. Two individuals are present. A female subject is seated on an inverted light blue plastic bucket, which rests atop another light blue plastic bucket. She wears a white polo shirt, dark trousers, and a magenta-patterned wrap skirt. Her hair is braided. She holds a small, light-colored object in her hands, looking downwards. A male subject is seated directly on the ground, leaning against the tree's trunk. He wears a white short-sleeved t-shirt and light blue jeans, with his arms crossed. He gazes towards the left, in the general direction of the female subject. His right foot is bare; his left foot wears a light-colored sandal. Between the two individuals, on the ground, is a tan-colored plastic bucket with a light blue rim. To the right of the tree trunk, a dark-colored, rectangular metal structure, resembling a charcoal grill or braai, is positioned. Near the male subject's feet, a coiled red rope or hose and a smaller red plastic item are visible on the ground. The background beyond the immediate shaded area displays bright light and dense, overgrown green shrubs and smaller trees. A blurred blue object occupies the lower left foreground, suggesting the photographer's immediate environment.
