This image captures an outdoor scene in Jos, Nigeria, featuring an informal refuse dump adjacent to an institutional compound. The foreground and midground consist of dry, light brown soil sparsely covered with pale, straw-like dead vegetation. A significant, irregular pile of mixed solid waste dominates the central frame, composed of numerous multicolored plastic bags (including blue, black, white, and red), plastic bottles, paper, and other assorted debris. Concrete blocks are partially visible on the left side of the refuse pile. In the background, a light yellow, single-story building with a green, possibly corrugated metal, hip roof and multiple rectangular windows is prominent. To the left of this building, a metal water tower supports a dark elevated tank. To the right, a series of identical, smaller light-colored buildings with green roofs extends into the distance, suggesting a school or similar facility. A large deciduous tree with green foliage is visible on the far right, with two indistinct human figures standing beneath it. Overhead, the sky is clear and light blue. The overall environment suggests a dry period with bright sunlight.
