The image captures an urban street scene in Hims, Syria, during daylight. In the foreground, a male individual, dressed in a camouflage jacket, dark trousers, and gloves, operates a long-nozzle sprayer, applying a dark, glistening liquid onto the asphalt road surface. A black hose extends from the sprayer towards the right. The road edge features a yellow and black striped curb. The background is dominated by multi-story buildings displaying significant structural damage, including numerous bullet holes, shattered or missing windows, and damaged balconies. Ground-floor establishments feature corrugated metal shutters and signage with Arabic script, one displaying "POWER" and another "Al-Haram." An air conditioning unit is visible on one building. A tall utility pole, adorned with a banner also bearing "Al-Haram" in Arabic, stands on the right. A heavy construction vehicle is partially visible on the right side of the street, and another individual is faintly visible on the sidewalk in the far left background. Strong sunlight casts distinct shadows across the road.
