The image depicts a daylight scene in the Makoko community of Lagos, Nigeria, a settlement characterized by wooden stilt houses built over water. Four individuals are present within three traditional wooden canoes on a waterway bordered by the structures. In the immediate foreground, a dark-skinned male, wearing a striped polo shirt and a grey sleeveless vest, is seated in a canoe, smiling directly at the camera. A large rectangular solar panel is positioned horizontally in front of him within the canoe. Behind him, to the left, a second dark-skinned male wearing a multi-colored striped shirt stands in a separate canoe, propelling it with a long wooden pole. To the right, a third dark-skinned male, dressed in a green patterned top and trousers, is seated in another canoe, which also holds two circular woven baskets. Further right and partially obscured, a fourth individual, seen from behind with braided hair and a striped top, occupies a third canoe. The background features numerous, densely packed wooden houses constructed on stilts over the water, displaying varying states of repair, with one featuring a blue tarp. The sky above is clear with scattered white clouds, and the water reflects the sky.
