Large stainless steel cooking pots sit over open wood fires at night, with flames and glowing embers beneath them. Steam rises from the pot at the centre, where a person in a red-orange garment and a white head wrap stands tending the food. Several other people are faintly visible in the background, one holding a bowl. Bright white lights illuminate the upper right, and the setting is a dim outdoor camp.
