The image depicts a nighttime view of a commercial street in Homs, Syria. The scene is illuminated by multiple strands of warm, incandescent-style string lights suspended across the street at varying heights, stretching into the distance. The sky above is black. The street is flanked by multi-story buildings on both sides, primarily constructed from concrete or plaster with visible wear. Most ground-level shops are closed, secured by metal roll-down shutters. On the left, a prominent red and white sign for "Sabaji" (صباجي), a chocolate shop, is visible, along with an external air conditioning unit mounted above. The sidewalk on this side appears narrow and uneven. On the right, a large rectangular billboard displays extensive Arabic text, including "Mayas Pharmacy" (صيدلية مياس) and other commercial information. Below it, another sign reads "The Office" (المكتب). A brown cardboard box rests on the paved sidewalk near the curb in the foreground. The asphalt road surface is visible, extending into the background. Several parked vehicles are discernible in the middle distance on the left side of the street. Further down, several indistinct human figures are walking, and one individual is operating a scooter or motorcycle, moving away from the viewer. The overall environment suggests a quiet urban setting during off-business hours.
