This image captures a dense outdoor vegetated area in Lokossa, Benin, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, a prominent tree with a textured, multi-branched trunk and sparse green foliage stands centrally. To its immediate left on the ground, a crumpled, light-colored object, possibly a plastic bag, is visible. The ground cover consists of green grass, small plants, and exposed soil with visible roots. Towards the left, a smaller tree with darker, dense green leaves and a few reddish-orange nascent leaves is present. The midground features a dense array of green vegetation, including numerous trees and shrubs, some of which exhibit evidence of heavy pruning, appearing as truncated vertical stems with new growth. Ferns and various leafy plants populate the undergrowth. In the background, additional tall, lush trees with full canopies extend towards the light-grey sky, indicative of an extensively green and possibly humid environment. No people or animals are visible, and no direct actions or interactions are depicted beyond the natural growth and human alteration of the vegetation.
