The image displays an active, unpaved outdoor market located in Akwanga, Nigeria, under clear daylight conditions. In the immediate foreground, a person is seated on a rough-hewn wooden bench, facing away from the camera, dressed in a blue floral-patterned hijab and a multi-patterned wrapper. Directly in front of this individual, merchandise is spread on the earthen ground, including a large accumulation of red onions, smaller piles of red peppers, green peppers, and a cluster of light green gourds or melons. Discarded items such as a red-capped plastic bottle and dark sandals are visible on the ground. The midground features multiple individuals, predominantly adults, engaged in market activities. Several vendor stalls are present, sheltered by large sun umbrellas in colors including green, grey, and patterned designs. Merchandise at these stalls includes various vegetables and items contained within woven baskets. A person in a white tunic stands near a stall interacting with a woman in a pink dress. Further right, a man in a light-colored top and grey pants stands with his back to the camera near a stall containing wooden crates. In the background, a building with a green roof is partially visible on the left. A prominent metallic lattice-frame water tower with a white cylindrical tank is situated in the upper background against a bright, clear sky. A street light fixture on a pole is also visible. The ground throughout the market area is unpaved earth, displaying evidence of foot traffic and scattered debris.
