Two monkeys are eating fruit. The monkey on the left has a pink face and is eating a piece of fruit. The monkey on the right is eating a piece of fruit and has its eyes closed. There is a pile of fruit scraps on the ground in front of the monkeys. The background is a green bush and a gray wall.

A group of monkeys are gathered near a utility pole and a road, with a terraced hillside in the background. One monkey is sitting on a rock to the right of the pole, eating something. Another monkey is on the ground to the left of the pole, also eating. A third monkey is clinging to the utility pole, and a fourth monkey is perched on top of the pole, near the wires. The monkeys appear to be scavenging for food in the roadside debris. The environment is rural, with vegetation and trees visible. The lighting suggests it is either early morning or late afternoon.
