The image displays an outdoor scene in the Makadara/Mji Wa Kale ward of Mombasa, Kenya, centered on the Makadara Memorial Tower, also known as the Vasco da Gama Pillar, situated near the coast. The prominent subject is a tall, light-colored (likely off-white or cream) tower. Its base is octagonal and multi-tiered, featuring carved details on the plinths. The tower's mid-section is also octagonal, presenting four arched openings, one of which contains a cluster of decorative items, possibly artificial flowers or wreaths. Above these arches are two small circular openings. Horizontal reddish-brown bands delineate sections of the tower. The upper section is cylindrical with four rectangular openings. Four black horizontal rods protrude from the tower, two from the upper octagonal section and two from the lower cylindrical section. On the lowest plinth of the tower's base, a blue and purple fabric item and a red object are visible. The ground is paved with dark gray interlocking paver bricks, forming an open plaza area. To the left of the tower, a large, mature tree with sparse, brown foliage stands prominently, accompanied by several smaller green-leafed trees. Two three-wheeled vehicles are present: a motorized tuk-tuk with a white canopy and a single occupant, moving rightward, and a pedal-powered rickshaw with a white umbrella canopy and at least one occupant, moving leftward. Several indistinct figures are visible further in the background beneath the large tree. The background on the right features a blue ocean with visible white-capped waves, bordered by a light-colored railing and green vegetation. The sky is clear blue with one distinct white cumulus cloud. The scene is illuminated by strong, direct sunlight.
