The scene depicts an active outdoor or semi-enclosed cooking operation in Machinjioni, Tanzania, permeated by dense, white-grey smoke. At the center, a multi-tiered grilling station is visible, constructed from wooden supports and metal grates. The upper grate holds approximately five large, pale pink to reddish cuts of raw or partially cooked meat, consistent with animal limbs or substantial sections. The lower level contains additional meat, including a larger, darker, and more charred piece, suggestive of a whole or half animal carcass actively grilling, and several items wrapped in aluminum foil. To the far left foreground, the lower torso and legs of an individual are visible, wearing a light-colored top and patterned shorts in shades of pink, black, and white. To the right mid-ground, a man in a light-colored collared shirt is partially visible, facing towards the right. Further back, obscured by smoke, indistinct figures are present, one appearing to wear a bright yellow vest. The overhead structure consists of a corrugated metal roof supported by wooden beams. In the distant background, a light-colored building facade is faintly discernible through the haze.
