The image depicts a street scene in the city of Homs, Syria, featuring a gathering of approximately twenty-five individuals. On the left, a storefront identified by an illuminated Arabic sign reading "ركن القهوة" (Rukn al-Qahwa), partially obscured by a gray metal roller shutter, displays gold-colored items through a glass window. A vertical section of artificial green foliage is fixed to the building's left, and a low wooden picket fence partially obstructs the foreground. Near the shop entrance, a bearded man in a black shirt stands facing right. To his right, another bearded man in a white collared shirt, black tie, and dark pants extends his right arm towards a man in a white and gray striped polo shirt, appearing to interact. Additional individuals are visible inside the shop and directly outside. To the right, a crowd of people, predominantly men, faces generally towards the right side of the frame or further down the street. Some men wear traditional attire, including white head wraps and loose-fitting gray trousers. A child in a blue t-shirt stands on the far right. Near the center, a child holds a small, red and white frame drum. In the background, buildings line the street; one on the upper left exhibits visible structural damage with exposed concrete and rebar. Overhead electrical wires crisscross the street. A blue sign with Arabic script, "الدريبي للتبديل" (Al-Duraybi for Exchange), is visible on a building further down the street. The sky above is bright and clear, suggesting daylight.
