This nighttime image captures a narrow, illuminated street in a residential area of Ma'raba, Syria, viewed from an elevated perspective, likely a balcony or upper-story window. The street, central to the composition, extends into the distance, with two parked vehicles visible: a light-colored sedan in the midground and a darker vehicle further down. A solitary human figure is discernible walking away from the viewer in the far distance, under the faint glow of streetlights. To the immediate left, a portion of an adjacent building or balcony is visible, with a large, light-colored fabric curtain or tarp hanging vertically, partially obscuring the foreground and a lower ledge containing indistinct objects. To the right, a multi-story building facade dominates, characterized by alternating horizontal bands of light beige/white and reddish-brown paneling. Multiple windows are present, some dark, others showing interior light from upper floors. Several windows on the lower levels are secured with curved, black metal security grates. The building's exterior on the far right exhibits light-colored brickwork. Artificial light sources from streetlights and building windows provide the primary illumination, creating areas of light and shadow throughout the scene.
