An outdoor scene in Jibb as-Safa, Syria, captured on an overcast day with a cloudy sky showing patches of brighter clouds. The image is dominated by institutional architecture and open ground. In the foreground, a wet, dark-colored paved courtyard, appearing to be made of cobblestones or pavers, occupies the lower third of the frame. Two individuals, appearing as dark figures, walk on this pavement; one is closer to the left edge, facing right, and another is further right, facing left. To the far left, the side of a multi-story, yellow-toned building with rectangular windows is partially visible. To the right of the paved area, a series of dark steps ascends to a raised section, which features a white or light-colored awning under which one or two indistinct figures are present. A dark, stepped retaining wall or planter separates the paved area from a large, dark brown, possibly muddy or sparsely vegetated field that spans the mid-ground. Across this field, a dirt or gravel path runs diagonally from the left-center towards the right, with several small clusters of people, appearing as dark silhouettes, walking along it. In the background, a cluster of multi-story, yellow-toned buildings with numerous windows and various architectural details, including turrets and rooftop equipment like antennas, stretches horizontally. Beyond these buildings, in the far background to the right, hazy outlines of distant hills or mountains are discernible, along with some indistinct industrial structures.
