The scene depicts an outdoor urban environment in Links Reservation, Nigeria, under a bright, hazy sky. A large, mature deciduous tree, likely a Flamboyant (Delonix regia) with numerous red-orange blossoms and mostly bare, gnarled branches, dominates the midground. Its trunk is thick and textured. In the foreground, a concrete drainage culvert or ditch runs diagonally from the lower left to the lower right, containing visible debris. Adjacent to the culvert and extending towards the tree is dry, sparse, yellowish-brown grass and bare, reddish-brown earth. Near the base of the tree on the left, a black trash bag and an orange object are visible on the ground. In the background to the left, multiple-story, weathered buildings with light-colored facades and dark roofs are present. Several rudimentary market stalls or small structures with corrugated metal roofs and wooden frames are situated in front of these buildings. Two indistinct figures, one appearing to be a child, are faintly visible among these structures. To the right of the central tree, a large, multi-story building with a lighter-colored, possibly white or grey, facade and numerous windows stands. Further right and behind this building, additional small, simple structures with dark roofs are partially visible, along with distant green foliage. The ground throughout the background consists of dry earth and sparse vegetation. No distinct shadows are cast, indicative of high sun or diffuse light conditions.
