The image depicts an outdoor scene in Zango-ndaji, Nigeria, featuring an individual beside a burning refuse pile in what appears to be an unpaved residential area. In the foreground, a small fire actively burns a heap of miscellaneous trash, including plastic and paper, producing significant plumes of white-grey smoke and visible orange flames. An adult, likely female, is partially obscured by the smoke, standing to the left of the fire. She wears dark, patterned clothing and a reddish head covering, and holds a long stick or rod directed towards the burning refuse. The ground consists of bare dirt, sparse green vegetation, and scattered debris. In the mid-background, two buildings are visible. To the left, a two-story structure with a light-colored facade and a dark, sloped roof stands near an unpaved path. To the right, a single-story building with a light-colored exterior and a similar roof is largely enveloped by the smoke. Overhead power lines are strung between utility poles, crossing the upper frame. The distant background reveals a hazy skyline of additional structures and a large transmission tower. The sky is overcast, with a faint yellowish light on the horizon, suggesting late afternoon or early evening conditions.
