This image captures an outdoor scene in Konongo, Democratic Republic of the Congo, under clear skies. The ground consists of reddish-brown dirt. In the immediate foreground, approximately 10-15 children, appearing to be between toddler age and early teens, are gathered. One child, positioned with their back partially to the camera, wears lime green ruffled shorts. A central child holds a small, light-skinned doll with light-colored hair. To the right, a young child in a blue patterned dress holds a clear plastic bottle containing a yellow liquid. Other children in this group wear a variety of plain and patterned clothing, and some are barefoot. In the midground, an open expanse of reddish-brown dirt functions as a playfield, where an estimated 20-30 children, many dressed in light-colored t-shirts and shorts (some blue, some yellow), are actively engaged in movement, suggesting a game or activity. Several single-story buildings with reddish-brown mud walls and dark roofs are visible behind the playfield. The background features lush green foliage and distant, hazy blue mountains rising under a bright sky.
