The image shows a group of slum houses on the banks of a river. The houses are made of corrugated metal sheets and bamboo sticks, and they are stacked on top of each other. The roof of the houses is covered in shingles, and there is a large palm tree in the foreground. The water in the river is calm and still, reflecting the houses and the surrounding vegetation. The sky is overcast, and the overall mood of the image is bleak and neglected.
