The image depicts a severely eroded landscape in Babawa, Nigeria, under a clear, pale blue sky. A prominent, deep gully, estimated to be several meters deep, cuts through the light brown, sandy terrain. The gully walls exhibit extensive evidence of water erosion, characterized by intricate vertical striations, layered sedimentary deposits, and undercut sections. The gully floor appears dry, with minimal dark soil patches and sparse, small green vegetation. The surrounding elevated ground is arid, covered predominantly with dry, golden-brown grasses and scattered low-lying shrubs. In the mid-ground, a line of green trees extends across the horizon, indicating a slight change in the distant landscape. Strong sunlight from the right casts defined shadows, enhancing the rugged texture and depth of the eroded landforms. No individuals, animals, or man-made objects are present.
