The image captures an outdoor scene in Dakata, Nigeria

The image captures an outdoor scene in Dakata, Nigeria. A young, dark-skinned male child, approximately 6-8 years old, is the central figure, walking from left to right across a dry, dusty dirt path. He wears a light peach-colored two-piece ensemble with a subtle dark dot pattern and a dark, possibly black, square-shaped patch on the left chest. His feet are clad in dirty, light brown slip-on sandals. He is looking downwards and slightly forward, with his left arm bent and his right arm hanging loosely. To the immediate left of the child is a rough, unplastered concrete block wall. The ground in the foreground is scattered with minor debris, including small pieces of plastic and dirt. The background features an extensive, elevated area heavily covered with accumulated waste and refuse, indicative of an informal landfill or dump. This area consists of mounds of discarded items, predominantly plastics and various domestic debris. A sandy embankment separates the immediate path from this larger refuse area. On this embankment, a male figure in a light-colored shirt and dark trousers stands near a metal cart, facing away from the camera. Further to the right, on the refuse pile itself, a small, light brown dog is visible. In the distant background, a grey sedan is parked on a higher dirt track, beneath the faint outline of low-rise structures or walls. The scene is illuminated by bright daylight, casting distinct shadows.
