The image depicts a narrow, ancient-looking alleyway in the city of Damascus, Syria. A single individual, seen from behind, is riding a bicycle away from the viewer towards the bright end of the passage. The person is wearing a dark top, and the bicycle is a standard two-wheeler. Strong, directional sunlight illuminates a patch of the cobblestone ground directly beneath and in front of the cyclist, casting sharp, elongated shadows from architectural elements and the person/bicycle onto the foreground and side. The alley is flanked by tall, aged buildings constructed from stone or concrete, exhibiting weathered surfaces and discoloration. Overhead, exposed wires or cables are visible, connecting between the structures. The ground is paved with dark, irregular cobblestones, showing areas of direct sunlight and deep shadow.
