In Zongon Daji, Nigeria, a detailed image captures an outdoor woodworking scene

In Zongon Daji, Nigeria, a detailed image captures an outdoor woodworking scene. The foreground and mid-ground are dominated by numerous light-colored, unfinished wooden objects, primarily large mortars or stools, exhibiting distinct carving marks. The ground surface is composed of compacted earth, extensively covered with wood shavings, offcuts, and scattered plastic debris including bottles and bags. Seven dark-skinned males are present. In the left foreground, one man, clad in a blue and white patterned sleeveless shirt and dark trousers, is actively carving the interior of a large wooden vessel using a dark-handled tool and a mallet. To his right, another man, wearing a yellow robe, is kneeling on the ground, engaged with a wooden object, partially obscured. Further right, a third man, in a red short-sleeved robe over a yellow undergarment and dark flip-flops, sits atop one of the unfinished wooden items, facing towards the right side of the frame. A group of four men occupies the mid-ground on the right. One individual in a blue short-sleeved shirt is bent over, seemingly engaged in work or interaction with the person to his right. Another man, wearing an orange or light brown short-sleeved shirt, is seated on a wooden object, facing the group. Two additional figures are partially visible behind them, also wearing blue shirts, interacting within the cluster. The background consists of various makeshift structures. These include corrugated metal shacks, some with patterned external surfaces, and wooden frames, possibly for windows or other furniture components, stacked vertically. A dark plastic water tank is visible on a rooftop in the mid-background. Sparse trees, utility poles, and overhead power lines are visible against the bright, clear sky. The overall scene depicts an active, open-air carpentry or wood-carving workshop under daylight conditions.
