The image displays an outdoor food preparation scene within Lagos, Nigeria, photographed on 2025/11/15 at 11:08. The specific location within the city is not identifiable from the visual information. Four individuals are present, engaged in processing and cooking vegetables. In the foreground-midground, a woman wearing a yellow patterned top and headscarf sits on a green plastic chair, actively sorting red peppers or tomatoes from a white tray into a black basin. To her right, a second woman, facing away from the camera, wears an orange patterned dress and head covering while sitting on a similar green plastic chair, handling produce in a large woven basket. In the right midground, a third woman in a purple patterned dress stands, attending to large metal cooking pots, one of which shows visible steam. She holds a light-colored object over the pot. A fourth individual, wearing a grey shirt, is partially visible in the background, bent over another large metal pot, indicating further preparation or cooking. The ground surface is paved with light-colored interlocking concrete blocks. Numerous containers holding large quantities of produce, primarily red peppers, tomatoes, and onions, are distributed across the area. These include a white tray on a stool, blue plastic basins, a black rectangular basin, a woven basket, a black bucket filled with red chili peppers, and a metal basin containing chopped ingredients with a knife resting on its lid. A large metal sieve is also visible. The background features a light yellow building wall on the left with a deteriorated purple lower section and two wall-mounted air conditioning units. A reddish-brown building wall is visible on the right side of the frame. A wooden pole leans against the yellow wall on the left.
