An elderly man is seated in the driver's seat of a vehicle in Mu'adammiyat ash-Sham, Syria. He wears a light-colored striped button-up shirt, dark trousers, and a grey baseball cap with a black Mercedes-Benz logo. He has a prominent white beard and mustache. His right hand is on the steering wheel, while his left forearm rests on a padded surface, holding a lit cigarette between his index and middle fingers. His gaze is directed forward through the windshield. The vehicle's interior features a dark headliner, a grey sun visor, and a decorative brown beaded fringe along the top of the windshield. A rearview mirror hangs, from which dark prayer beads (misbaha) are suspended. The dashboard beneath the windshield is partially covered with a shaggy, dark fabric. The steering wheel is black and appears worn. Keys are in the ignition, and a black manual gear shift lever is visible to the driver's right. Through the front and side windows, an urban street scene is visible under daylight conditions. Buildings line the street, including a storefront with a beige facade and a closed, reddish-brown corrugated metal roll-down shutter. Arabic script is present on a sign above this shutter. Two light blue plastic containers are on the sidewalk outside this building. Further down the street, two individuals are partially visible; one male wears a pink shirt, and another is in a lighter-colored top. Green foliage and overhead electrical or communication wires are also discernible in the background.
