The sun-soaked scene is filled with a rich tapestry of activity, as people go about their daily lives amidst the bustling streets. The image showcases a busy road lined with trees, their branches reaching out to provide shade from the African sun. The buildings on either side of the street exude a sense of history and character, their architectural styles a testament to the diverse cultural influences that have shaped Durban over the years.
