The image depicts an outdoor informal market scene in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, under a clear blue sky. In the foreground, a dark-skinned male vendor, wearing a short-sleeved brown t-shirt with a white circular logo, stands behind a wooden food stall. He is looking directly at the camera. His right hand is positioned near a charcoal grill, where numerous skewers of dark-red meat (mishkaki) are cooking. Smoke emanates from the grill, which also holds a black wok-like pan containing fried items and a reddish-brown item. The grill rests on a table covered with newspaper print. To the right of the grill, a pile of cooked yellow plantains is arranged on the newspaper, next to a silver metal bowl. In the midground and background, multiple makeshift market stalls are visible, constructed from wood, corrugated metal sheets, and tarpaulins. One blue tarpaulin covers a section of a stall, and another stall is draped with a vibrant yellow fabric featuring blue circular patterns. Piles of clothing and other merchandise are displayed on and around these stalls. Other individuals are present within the market area; one person in a white top and pink head covering is visible to the right of the main vendor, and another person is partially obscured to the vendor's left. Overhead, a tall, slender utility pole equipped with multiple floodlights extends vertically into the clear blue sky. The ground appears to be dirt or compacted earth.
