An outdoor market scene in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, observed under bright daylight. The foreground features concrete steps, partially obscured by scattered debris including dry leaves and small plastic fragments. In the immediate foreground, to the bottom-right, the lower torso and legs of an individual wearing dark patterned trousers and sandals are visible, descending the steps while holding a black, possibly folded, object in their right hand. A white t-shirt is partially seen. To the left, on the lower steps, produce is displayed for sale: a red plastic basin contains numerous green okra pods, and a black tray holds a mound of red tomatoes alongside some pale, ovoid produce. A bare human foot is visible on the step between these two containers. In the mid-ground, a woman wearing a white head covering, a white short-sleeved top with a partial logo, and a patterned skirt bends forward. She holds a transparent light blue plastic bag in her left hand and appears to be selecting or arranging green, elongated, spiky-skinned fruits or vegetables from a large orange basin. A dark shoulder bag is slung across her body. Behind this central figure, other individuals populate the market. To the right, a woman in a yellow head covering and a dark, patterned garment faces away from the camera. Further right, a partially visible woman wears a dark head covering and patterned skirt. In the background, numerous people are visible, some standing near stalls. One individual in a light blue shirt is discernible near a stall displaying produce. To the left in the background, a wooden market stall is packed with various goods, including brightly colored plastic items (toys, bowls), stacked white packages, and other general merchandise. A blue and orange patterned shopping bag rests on the ground near this stall. The overall environment is bustling, characteristic of a vibrant urban market.
