The image depicts an urban street scene in Machakos, Kenya, under an overcast sky. In the foreground, partially visible on the left, is the front section of a white matatu (minibus) with the reversed text "TRANS LTD" on its grille, suggesting the photo was taken from inside another vehicle. The immediate foreground shows a grey asphalt road and a reddish-brown brick-patterned sidewalk delineated by several concrete bollards with yellow/orange tops. On the sidewalk, a female pedestrian wearing a light-colored plaid shirt and dark trousers walks from left to right. Behind her, multiple individuals, primarily men, are standing or walking near several parked or stopped matatus. One white matatu with a yellow stripe and "TRANS LUXURY" text is visible on the left side. Further down the street, other matatus, including one with green, white, and blue stripes, are present. The background features several multi-story buildings. A prominent light-grey building with vertical architectural elements stands on the left. Adjacent to it, another building with a light brown/pale orange facade displays the reversed sign "BAKER'S INN" at its ground level, which appears to be a commercial establishment. A tall light pole with a vertical banner advertising "JAMIA LIMITED APC" stands in front of these buildings. Further down the street, additional commercial buildings with various signs, including a partially visible "EASTMATT," line the street. Overhead utility wires are visible against the cloudy sky. Trees and foliage are present near the buildings on the left.
