This image depicts a severely polluted outdoor environment within the city of Jos, Nigeria. The scene is dominated by accumulated refuse alongside a shallow, murky water body. In the foreground, a gully cuts through reddish-brown earth, filled with discarded items including colorful plastic wrappers, crumpled plastic bottles, and dried plant debris. Sparse green vegetation grows on the surrounding dry soil. Directly adjacent to the water, large piles of mixed waste are visible, consisting primarily of numerous black plastic bags, clear plastic containers, and various other non-biodegradable items. The banks show signs of erosion and are mostly barren where waste is heaviest. The water body itself, likely a stream or river, appears dark and opaque, with visible debris floating on its surface and submerged along its edges. The far bank of the water features green and dry scrubland, extending towards a distant, blurred horizon of similar terrain. No individuals, animals, or direct human activity are visible within the frame.
