A narrow, unpaved alleyway in the city of Bauchi, Nigeria, is visible under a clear, bright sky. The ground consists of packed earth and irregular, elevated sections of concrete or hardened soil. Buildings flank both sides of the alley, constructed from what appears to be mud or rendered earth, showing signs of age and wear. On the left, a wall exhibits a distinct vertical crack in its upper portion, with multiple garments, including dark jackets with green accents, grey shirts, and lighter fabrics, hanging to dry along its length. On the right, a similar wall features a recessed doorway and, further along, a tall wooden shutter with vertical slats. Overhead, thin electrical wires are strung across the alley. In the mid-ground, a lone male individual, dressed in a dark red or maroon tunic and trousers, walks away from the viewer, proceeding deeper into the alley. Strong sunlight from an overhead source casts distinct shadows from the buildings and the person onto the ground. In the background, additional structures with corrugated metal roofs are discernible.
