A young, shirtless male, approximately pre-teen, stands smiling on a white sandy beach in Michamvi Kae, Tanzania. His torso, arms, and legs are significantly coated in light-colored sand. He wears yellow and green patterned swim shorts. Behind him, the beach transitions to a broad band of dark brown, dried seaweed or vegetation at the water's edge. Beyond this, light blue-green ocean water is visible. In the distant background on the left, a multi-level wooden structure built on stilts stands over the water. To the right of this building, a long, dark wooden pier extends into the ocean from the shore. The sky is a light blue with darker, cloudier regions towards the horizon.
