The scene depicts an outdoor commercial and living area in Barakin Sabawa, Nigeria. The ground is composed of reddish-brown, dry earth with scattered small debris. In the mid-foreground, a female subject, wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt and dark trousers, walks from left to right across the frame. She carries a broom in her right hand and a shovel in her left. Her shadow extends behind her to the left. To the right of the primary subject, an outdoor cooking operation is in progress. Smoke rises from a ground-level fire with a dark cooking pot placed over it. Several plastic buckets and bowls of various colors are arranged on the ground and on a low wooden table next to the fire. A second female figure, wearing a patterned skirt and dark top, is positioned near the cooking area, bent over, partially obscured by the structures. A third individual is partially visible inside one of the structures further back. On the right side of the image, a series of makeshift structures, constructed from corrugated metal sheets and wooden frames, line what appears to be a pathway. A white and green "POS" (Point of Sale) sign is affixed to the front of the closest structure. In the background, multiple utility poles with power lines extend into the distance, following a visible unpaved road. Distant vehicles, buildings, and sparse vegetation are visible under a clear, bright sky. Shadows indicate a high sun angle.
