The image captures an outdoor street market scene in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania, under bright daylight. In the foreground, the ground is uneven, light brown earth with scattered small debris and a crumpled white plastic sheet lying on the right. A weathered wooden plank, supported by two wooden blocks, sits between the foreground and midground. In the midground, to the left, a makeshift stall table is draped with a patterned cloth. On the table, a large purple plastic basin holds a substantial mound of reddish-brown granular material, while an empty pink plastic basin and a clear plastic water bottle are also present. To the right of this stall, a woman is seated on a small blue plastic stool. She is dressed in olive-green attire, including a long-sleeved top, trousers, and a matching head covering. Her eyes are closed, her head is slightly bowed, and her hands are clasped in her lap, indicating rest or sleep. A black shoulder bag with a gold-colored emblem is visible on her chest. To her immediate right, an empty blue plastic chair is positioned. Behind the woman, a large, light-colored draped fabric or tarp forms a temporary backdrop for the stall area. The background reveals additional market stalls with items displayed on tables, including rows of roasted corn cobs. Smoke emanates from several points in the background, indicative of cooking activities. Strong sunlight casts distinct shadows from the table and figures onto the ground.
