This image depicts an active open-air market in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, under bright daylight conditions with visible atmospheric haze or smoke. The ground surface is unpaved earth. In the foreground to mid-ground, two primary food stalls are present. The stall on the left, covered with a white patterned cloth, displays numerous skewered items, possibly meat or snacks, alongside a pink container. Smoke emanates from the area immediately behind this stall, indicating active cooking. To its right, a second stall, also draped with a white patterned cloth, presents various fried food items, including yellow-hued dough fritters and darker, irregularly shaped fried pieces. A lidded blue container rests on this second stall. Multiple individuals are gathered around these stalls. In the left foreground, a man wearing a light-colored patterned shirt, black track pants with white side stripes, and white athletic shoes stands facing the stalls. Around the central stalls, individuals include a person in an orange shirt, a person wearing a head covering and patterned attire positioned behind the left stall, and two men to the right, one in a green patterned shirt and another in a red and black striped shirt. Further figures are indistinctly visible in the background amid the haze. The background features rudimentary market structures, likely stalls or shops, characterized by corrugated iron roofs and exposed framework. Garments are visible hanging for sale within these background structures. A brown market umbrella displaying partial text "750 B... M..." is situated on the far right. Trees are discernible on the distant horizon against the bright sky. The scene indicates ongoing commerce and food preparation.
