The image shows a handwritten sign on a white board, placed on the ground. The sign is advertising "Artena Areia" and asking for a "TIP FOR MY WORK". The sign also includes a PIX key for donations. In addition to the sign, there is a soccer ball, a wooden crate, and sand visible in the shot. The ground near the edge of the picture is a mosaic.

The image shows the interior of a McDonald's restaurant. On the wall are four framed abstract artworks, featuring vertical stripes of yellow and red. A long gray bench with attached wooden tables runs along the wall. Orange chairs are positioned next to the tables. A person is seen in the background, possibly a customer or employee. There is an exit sign on the wall. Based on the design elements, specifically the artwork and furniture style, it is likely this McDonald's location is in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, as this restaurant chain commonly uses local artists to add personality.
