The image captures an outdoor timber market or processing area in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, under an overcast sky. In the immediate foreground, an adult male of African descent, wearing a plaid short-sleeved shirt, soiled dark knee-length trousers, a dark baseball cap, and silver-colored slide sandals, is positioned facing right, gesturing downwards with his right hand. Directly in front of him and to his right, four light-colored, unfinished wooden stools are arranged on the concrete ground. A clear plastic water bottle and a brown earthenware dish containing a piece of brown material are on the ground near the stools. Behind the foreground figure, a large volume of sawn timber planks is stacked horizontally. Several men are actively involved in moving and manually stacking these planks. A flatbed truck, heavily loaded with additional timber, is visible further back, with one man standing on its bed. An olive-green tarpaulin canopy extends over a portion of the scene from the right side. To the right of the truck, rudimentary market stalls or storage areas with various colored plastic containers (red, pink, green) and wooden benches are discernible. Utility lines traverse the upper portion of the frame against the cloudy sky. A worn concrete post, painted blue and white near its base, stands prominently to the left of the central figure.
