The scene depicts an outdoor wood processing or charcoal preparation area in Sabon Gari West, Nigeria, under an overcast and hazy sky. In the foreground and midground, a dusty, unpaved ground is extensively covered with numerous logs, stumps, and piles of split wood, indicative of timber or firewood operations. General debris, including plastic bags and small trash, is scattered across the ground. Two adult males are present. One individual, positioned left of center, wears a dark long-sleeved shirt, dark trousers, and a light-colored straw hat. He stands on a large log while holding an axe with both hands, poised over another log as if engaged in splitting wood. A second individual, wearing a bright yellow t-shirt and dark trousers, stands slightly behind and to the right of the first, also holding an axe in a similar active stance over a log on the ground. Both individuals appear to be actively chopping wood. In the background, on the left, is a two-story building with a light-colored upper facade and a darker lower section. It features multiple arched windows with blue-tinted panes on the upper floor and rectangular windows below. The roof is corrugated metal with a prominent gable. Several wooden crates and white sacks are visible near the base of this building. To the right, a dilapidated single-story structure with corrugated metal walls and roof stands. Near it, several dark plastic water tanks and concrete blocks are stacked. Further in the background, another multi-story building with light walls and blue windows is partially visible, along with a faint communication tower against the hazy horizon. Power lines traverse the upper portion of the image.
