This image depicts an active open-air street market scene in Dar es-Salaam, Tanzania. The ground surface is rough concrete or asphalt, exhibiting strong shadows from the left, indicative of bright sunlight. Multiple individuals are present. In the mid-ground right, a woman wearing a blue headscarf and a patterned blue, white, and red dress sits on the ground, attending to produce. She is surrounded by piles of green bananas, limes, and red tomatoes displayed on a white sheet. A man in a white short-sleeved t-shirt with red trim and dark shorts stands nearby, facing away from the camera. Further left, two other women are seated on the ground; one is partially obscured with her back to the camera, wearing a patterned dress, while another in a light-colored top holds a long stick, positioned near a pile of green vegetables. In the background right, the lower half of a person wearing light cargo pants and white sneakers is visible, walking on the paved surface. Various goods are displayed throughout the scene. In the mid-ground, a large pile of small dried fish or anchovies is present, interspersed with small blue and pink containers. Adjacent to this, a round woven tray holds a light-colored grain or pulse, and a red bowl contains similar items. In the foreground, a blue plastic bucket is filled with a large quantity of bright red granular material, possibly a spice or candy, accompanied by small yellow packets and a light blue spoon. Next to the bucket, a large round metal tray displays an assortment of sweets and snacks, including light-colored brittle bars and brightly colored square candies in blue, yellow, orange, and red. Overhead, a green tarp provides partial shade to the market stalls.
