The image displays an active open-pit quarry operation situated on a hillside in Mai Mahiu ward, Kenya. The foreground consists of dry, pale-brown grasses. To the left, a large, steep cliff face of excavated reddish-brown earth and rock exhibits distinct horizontal stratification. The quarry floor is terraced, with multiple levels connected by winding dirt tracks that show evidence of vehicle passage. Throughout these excavated sections, numerous piles of dark grey to black angular stones, some organized into conical stacks, are present. In the lower-central portion of the main pit, at least three individuals are visible, engaged in manual labor amidst the stone piles; one figure is wearing bright green clothing. The mid-ground reveals a continuation of the quarry landscape and a small, light-colored structure or vehicle near a track. The background features a steep, verdant hillside on the left, which slopes down into a broad, hazy valley containing scattered structures and agricultural fields. Distant hills are visible on the horizon beneath a partly cloudy sky.
