This image captures a street food vending operation in an urban area of Nairobi, Kenya, recorded on 23/09/2025 at 15:10. The scene is set on a paved sidewalk constructed with grey interlocking concrete blocks, adjacent to a street where a large bus is visible. In the foreground, a metal charcoal grill on a three-legged stand holds approximately ten to twelve ears of corn undergoing grilling. A clear plastic container with green condiments rests on the grill's edge. Flanking the grill are two woven plastic bags filled with unhusked corn: one large blue and green bag on the left, and a smaller white and pink bag on the right. Two dark cylindrical posts are present on the ground. The ground itself is soiled with dirt, debris, and some moisture. Three adult males are prominently featured. The central figure, presumably the vendor, is a dark-skinned male wearing a grey short-sleeved polo shirt, dark trousers, black sneakers, and a black baseball cap with sunglasses. His left hand is positioned near the grill, and he holds a white rectangular object in his right hand. To his left, a dark-skinned male in a grey jacket over a white shirt and maroon trousers holds a grilled ear of corn. To the right of the vendor, a dark-skinned male in a brown long-sleeved polo shirt, dark jeans, and a light brown baseball cap stands with a white canvas bag over his shoulder. In the background, a large red and black coach-style bus displays "ORACLE" in red lettering and "Liberty Temp" on a grey stripe. Multiple indistinct figures are visible near and within the bus, indicating a bustling public space.
