This image captures an urban street scene in Cotonou, Benin, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, positioned to the left, a male individual wearing a black helmet with red accents, a yellow short-sleeved collared shirt featuring a green fruit graphic and "2142C" text, blue jeans, and brown sandals, is seated on a black motorcycle. A beige helmet with a clear visor is attached to the front of his motorcycle. His left foot rests on the damaged gray concrete curb, which borders a dark gray interlocking block paved road. The motorcycle displays a rear license plate "2EV 7756", a red taillight, and orange turn signals. To the right, on the same paved road, two other male motorcyclists are in motion. The closer rider wears a brown helmet, a yellow long-sleeved shirt, and dark pants, operating a reddish-brown motorcycle with a light brown seat and a blue front headlight casing. Behind him, a second rider in a dark helmet and a blue/green patterned shirt is on a dark scooter. In the background, the street is lined with a mix of multi-story concrete buildings in varying states of repair and smaller commercial structures, some with corrugated metal roofs. A blue and yellow flag is visible near a turquoise-colored building on the right. Several tall streetlights equipped with solar panels extend upwards along the road, which gently curves to the left. An orange traffic barrier is discernible further down the street on the left.
