The image presents a high-angle view looking down a steep, arid hillside within the city of Qudsaiya, Syria. The foreground shows dry, uneven ground composed of soil and gravel, extensively littered with various debris including plastic bags, bottles, and fabric scraps. The bottom right corner features a person's lower legs and right foot, clad in dark pants and a silver and white athletic shoe, indicating the perspective of the observer. A winding concrete staircase with dark, weathered metal handrails descends diagonally from the upper left towards the lower right of the frame. Approximately midway down the visible length of the staircase, a lone individual, an adult male, is seen walking downwards. He wears a light-colored long-sleeved shirt, dark pants, and carries a dark backpack over his left shoulder. The areas immediately adjacent to the staircase are also heavily littered. To the left of the stairs, further down the slope, some sparse green vegetation and a small, dilapidated structure are visible. In the background, a sprawling urban area with numerous multi-story residential buildings extends across a valley and up the slopes of distant hills. Beyond the city, a range of barren, reddish-brown mountains rises against a pale sky with scattered clouds, illuminated by warm, low-angle sunlight consistent with late afternoon or early morning.
