The image depicts an unpaved open area, likely an alleyway or vacant lot, within Syokimau-Mulolongo ward, Kenya, heavily impacted by accumulated solid waste. The foreground consists of a dirt path transitioning into dark, muddy patches with standing liquid and scattered debris. The mid-ground and extends into the background are covered by a dense layer of refuse, comprising numerous plastic bags (various colors including blue, white, yellow, and green), organic matter, fragmented textiles, and general household waste interspersed with rocks and sparse green vegetation. Two white chickens are visible foraging among the debris in the mid-ground, left of center. In the background, two human figures walk away from the camera: one individual wears light-colored clothing and a cap, while the other wears a reddish top. The background further reveals multiple unfinished multi-story buildings constructed from concrete blocks, a corrugated metal shed, and utility poles with overhead wires. A tall, unplastered concrete block wall with a smooth grey lower section runs along the left side of the scene. The sky is overcast.
