This image captures a vibrant outdoor market scene in Tarauni, Nigeria, under direct sunlight. In the foreground, a vertical metal pole partially obstructs the view of a person seated on a wooden stool, wearing a dark patterned shirt and trousers, with bare feet resting on the uneven, light-colored ground. Their hands are clasped in front of them. A green flip-flop lies discarded near their feet. To the left of the pole, a vendor in a purple head covering actively arranges red onions in a black basin. Adjacent to them, another vendor, viewed from behind, is clad in a pink head covering and garment. Prominently displayed are large piles of light-brown yams in dark bowls on a wooden surface, with additional yams in blue plastic crates and ripe yellow bananas below. Green leafy vegetables are visible in baskets behind the vendors. The mid-ground reveals a busy paved street with a black sedan/SUV, partially visible white vehicles, and motorcycles. Numerous pedestrians, dressed in a variety of clothing including traditional long robes and head coverings, traverse the market area. Multiple market stalls with colorful awnings (orange and blue) are visible, and multi-story buildings line the street in the background under a clear sky.
