The image displays an urban intersection in Cotonou, Benin, under an overcast sky during daylight. The foreground captures the back of a person wearing a blue shirt and a dark helmet, positioned as if riding a motorcycle. In the mid-ground, a male operator on a silver-colored motorcycle, wearing a light-colored plaid shirt and a beige helmet, navigates the paved intersection. Behind this motorcycle, a dark-colored SUV is present. To the right, a dark grey minivan is partially visible, indicating vehicle movement through the intersection. The road surface consists of interlocking grey paver blocks. On the left, a multi-story building with a light-colored exterior and blue-tinted windows rises above smaller commercial establishments. Utility lines are strung past this structure. On the right, another multi-story building with an orange/brown facade features a large yellow billboard advertising "CANETTE 33cl NOUVEAU FORMAT POUR UN ESPRIT PLUS JEUNE" (33cl can new format for a younger spirit), prominently displaying green beverage cans. Numerous streetlights, equipped with solar panels, line the thoroughfare, extending into the background, where additional vehicles and structures are visible. Sparse green foliage is also present near the buildings and street infrastructure.
