This image depicts an outdoor area in Douala IV, Cameroon. The central subject is a Muscovy duck, featuring dark plumage with iridescent green sheens, white chest and wing patches, and a white head with reddish facial caruncles. The duck is seated on a weathered wooden plank. This plank is part of an uneven pathway constructed from multiple similar planks laid over dark, wet mud. The mud contains scattered refuse, including plastic wrappers and organic debris. In the upper right background, partially visible objects include a light-colored rectangular container, a dark green bucket, and a bright green plastic basket with heart-shaped perforations, positioned on a raised surface. A bundle of yellow strings is visible in the lower left foreground. No human subjects are present. The environment appears unkempt and unpaved.
