A low-angle photograph depicts an outdoor scene in Thika Township ward, Kenya, characterized by strong backlighting from a prominent sun. The sun, located in the upper-right quadrant, casts a bright, vertical lens flare across the frame, obscuring details. The sky above is light blue with scattered white, cumulus clouds. In the foreground, a dark, weathered metal crash barrier (guardrail) runs horizontally across the lower portion of the image, partially obscuring a grassy verge. Beyond the barrier, a paved road surface, appearing reflective due to the direct sunlight, is visible. Several small, indistinct human figures are positioned along the road's edge or shoulder, appearing to be standing or walking. The midground features dense green vegetation, including trees and bushes, which are partially silhouetted against the bright background. Utility poles with overhead power lines are discernible in the middle distance, extending horizontally across the sky. In the background, a dense treeline forms a dark silhouette against the sky. Several distant, dark building structures are visible just above the horizon, silhouetted against the intense light of the sun. The overall lighting conditions suggest either sunrise or sunset.
