The image depicts a narrow alleyway in Stone Town, Zanzibar City, Tanzania, flanked by multi-story buildings. On the right, a weathered, light-colored building with peeling plaster features a hand-painted sign reading "ZANZIBAR HAND CRAFT GARDEN," a schematic drawing of a gazebo, and the word "WELCOME." A purple poster with a man's portrait and text is affixed near a window with horizontal bars. An upper-level wooden balcony with horizontal slats projects over the alley, supported by exposed wooden beams. A single bare incandescent light bulb hangs illuminated beneath this balcony. Numerous dark utility wires crisscross the wall. On the ground level of this building, a crude wooden table covered partially by dark fabric stands, with stacked wooden boxes, a green sack, and two blue plastic water bottles positioned beneath and around it. To the left, a stack of wooden crates or furniture parts is visible. The building on the left is taller, lighter-colored (cream/white), and has multiple rectangular windows, some with closed shutters. The alley's ground is paved with irregular light-colored pavers, scattered with small debris, and a circular metal manhole cover is present on the left side. Three individuals are walking away from the camera, deeper into the alley on the left side, with one carrying a backpack. Two additional individuals are partially visible on the right, near the stacked wooden objects; one appears seated, and the other standing. A dark-colored scooter or moped is partially visible on the far left edge of the frame.
