This image depicts a sunlit, unpaved area in Ado, Nigeria, characterized by significant waste accumulation. The foreground features the distinct shadow of a person, likely the photographer, cast on dry, light brown dirt mixed with small stones. Dominating the midground is a large, irregularly shaped pool of dark, stagnant liquid, appearing almost black. This liquid contains numerous items of refuse, including yellow plastic objects, clear and dark plastic bottles, plastic bags, crumpled metallic containers, and various stones and organic debris. Narrow streams of this dark liquid extend across the surrounding dirt. In the background, three individuals are partially visible. One person, wearing patterned red, yellow, and black clothing, stands near a white plastic bucket and a black sack. Another person in dark clothing is also near these items. Further to the right, a person in red clothing is positioned behind a makeshift wooden stall or table. On the ground near the stall, a metal pot or pan rests on a small, dark cooking apparatus, possibly a charcoal stove, with a small pile of white granular substance next to it. The entire scene indicates an outdoor, informal setting with pronounced environmental sanitation challenges.
