This image depicts a bustling open-air market in Wote, Kenya, characterized by an interlocking brick pavement. In the foreground, a dark-skinned man with an orange baseball cap, a striped short-sleeved shirt over a light undershirt, khaki pants, and sandals, walks forward, looking directly at the viewer. A dark bracelet is on his left wrist. To the right of the man, an elderly dark-skinned woman with a light-colored headscarf, a checkered apron, and a patterned dress sits on a low stool on the ground, bare-footed, engaged in sorting or preparing green pods in a blue plastic basin. Behind her is a blue plastic chair. Around the woman and extending into the midground, various produce is displayed on dark tarps and light mats on the ground. Visible items include piles of green papayas, a large bunch of green bananas, root vegetables such as yams or taro, numerous light-colored gourds of various shapes, and small red and green fruits (possibly tomatoes) often contained in mesh bags. To the far left foreground, another pile of green and yellow fruits is visible. The midground and background show a dense crowd of people, indicating active commerce. Numerous market stalls are set up with makeshift dark tarp canopies. Buildings, some multi-story, are discernible in the far background under a bright daytime sky.
