The image depicts an urban street scene in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, under clear daylight conditions. In the immediate foreground, a female subject with dark skin, wearing a dark hat, a dark long-sleeved top over a patterned garment, blue jeans, and brown sandals, walks towards the viewer on a sidewalk paved with grey interlocking concrete blocks. She carries a brown shoulder bag on her right side. Shadows are cast from the left onto the sidewalk. To the subject's left is an asphalt road, hosting multiple motorcycles (boda-bodas). One motorcycle, ridden by an individual in a red hoodie, is prominently visible from the rear, moving away from the viewer. Further down the road, additional motorcycles and indistinct figures are present. Along the right side of the street, adjacent to the sidewalk, are several informal market stalls or small shops. One stall features a light-colored, possibly beige, umbrella providing shade, with items displayed beneath. A tall, metal lattice utility pole with numerous overhead power lines stands prominently on the right side of the image. On the left side of the road, various low-rise buildings with light-colored facades and different roof types are visible, along with additional utility poles and streetlights. The overall scene suggests a busy commercial and transportation thoroughfare.
