This image captures an outdoor scene during daylight in Aidemir, Bulgaria. The central subject is a person dressed in an elaborate Kukeri costume, walking on a paved asphalt road. The costume consists of a full-body, brown, fur-like garment. The headpiece is tall and cylindrical, made of light beige fur-like material, and adorned with a large, circular wreath of dense, multi-colored fibrous elements in blue, yellow, green, and red. Two prominent C-shaped red horn-like structures protrude from the sides of the headpiece, complemented by additional red fibrous tufts around the lower part of the headpiece, framing a stylized mask. The mask features a light-colored face with dark brown fur elements depicting a mustache and goatee, and small dark eye openings. A brown belt encircles the waist, from which a cluster of multiple metallic bells hangs on the left side. The figure holds a light-colored, flat wooden stick in the right hand and is depicted in motion with the left foot advanced. To the immediate left, a male figure wearing a long, dark brown robe, a black cap, and orange footwear holds a wooden staff draped with white fabric patterned in red. Further left and behind this figure, another individual in a brown, fur-like costume with a smaller, colorful headpiece is partially visible. To the right and slightly behind the central figure, a second individual in a Kukeri-type costume is partially visible. This costume features gray and black patterned fur, a tall headpiece topped with what appears to be a ram's skull or horns, and red fibrous adornments. This figure holds a red, elongated object in the right hand. In the background, on the left side of the road, a crowd of spectators is visible, standing behind an indistinct barrier. Individuals in the crowd wear various winter garments, including red, black, and blue coats. A blue tent is situated behind the spectators. Further into the background, bare-branched trees and portions of a light-colored building are discernible. A black street lamp post with an overhead wire is visible on the far left. The sky is overcast and uniformly gray. The asphalt road surface exhibits minor discolorations and scattered debris.
