The image displays the Clock Tower in the city center of Homs, Syria, during nighttime hours. The central feature is a tall, white clock tower, illuminated by vertical light panels embedded in its structure, with clock faces visible at its apex. A gathering of approximately two dozen individuals, predominantly young males, is present at the base of the tower and in the immediate foreground. Six individuals are seated on the lower, elevated perimeter of the tower's base. Below them, a denser crowd is observed, with some individuals raising their arms. One person in the foreground holds a white flag with dark, indistinct markings, elevated on a pole and appearing in motion. A dark banner bearing white Arabic script, translating to "Mercy for the righteous martyrs," is affixed to the lower section of the tower's base. Artificial light sources are visible, producing lens flare artifacts in the lower portions of the frame.
