A daytime photograph depicts a heavily polluted waterway, likely a river or canal, in an urban or peri-urban area of Nairobi, Kenya. The water is dark and opaque, extensively covered with various forms of solid waste, including plastic bags, bottles, fabric, and general refuse, which are floating and forming visible accumulations, particularly one large mass in the center-left. Several items appear contained within green and white sacks floating downstream. The immediate foreground shows a dirt bank with sparse green vegetation and scattered debris. The far bank is steep, densely covered with green trees and bushes, beneath which significant quantities of refuse are accumulated along the waterline. In the background, partially visible through the foliage on the right, a multi-story light-colored building rises above a lower structure constructed from corrugated metal sheets and other materials. The sky is bright and appears hazy or overcast through the tree canopy. No individuals are present in the scene.
