The scene depicts an unpaved, sandy road in Onitsha, Nigeria, under a bright sky. In the mid-ground, a dark-skinned male subject, wearing a light tan t-shirt with a green horizontal stripe and dark grey shorts, walks towards the observer's left, holding a light-colored implement in his right hand. He is barefoot. To his immediate right, a substantial pile of accumulated refuse, consisting of plastic bags, bottles, fabric, and other miscellaneous debris, rests against a concrete wall. A small papaya tree with broad green leaves grows behind the refuse pile. Further down the sandy road on the left, another dark-skinned male subject, dressed in a black t-shirt and black shorts, walks away from the observer. Several vehicles, including a red pickup truck, are visible further down the road. Buildings of varying construction stages, including multi-story residential structures, line both sides of the road in the background, with power lines crisscrossing overhead. The foreground displays the photographer's distinct shadow cast on the sandy, littered ground.
